The Issue

📢 Petition for a City-Owned Electric Utility in Joplin! ⚡️

 

Hey Joplin friends! Are you tired of high electricity bills and having no choice in your power provider? We believe Joplin deserves affordable, reliable, and locally controlled electricity. That’s why we’re calling on the City of Joplin to explore a city-owned electric utility!

 

✅ Lower Rates – Public utilities often charge less than private monopolies.

✅ More Local Control – Decisions would be made by Joplin leaders, not corporate shareholders.

✅ Better Reliability – Profits would be reinvested into our power grid.

✅ Renewable Energy Options – We could prioritize cleaner energy solutions!

 

💡 What We’re Asking For:

We’re asking the Joplin City Council to:

🔹 Commission a Feasibility Study on the costs and benefits of a city-owned electric company.

🔹 Hold Public Hearings so our voices can be heard.

🔹 Take Legislative Action to give Joplin residents the power to choose!
