Throughout the
year NWPPA's Government Relations Committee is busy monitoring the
changing legislative climate both nationally and regionally. One important
function of the Government Relations Committee is to develop resolutions
in support of public power or draft specific issue-related resolutions
dealing with current "hot" topics. These resolutions represent
the Association's position on various public power issues.
A complete packet of printed resolutions can be requested from NWPPA by e-mailing:
nwppa@nwppa.org or calling our office at
