Posted on Aug 1, 2011 in Legislative & Politics, Regulation & Policy | Comments Off on Barnstable County Seeks Information from Cape and Vineyard Electric Cooperative
The Barnstable County Assembly of Delegates, the county’s legislative branch, will have to retake a vote to look into the Cape and Vineyard Electric Cooperative (CVEC) after the county’s legal counsel explained that the earlier vote was not binding because it was not a true majority vote. The assembly wants to form a special panel to specifically investigate CVEC’s administrative structure and funding sources. The county’s legal counsel has also asserted that neither the assembly nor the county commissioners have any direct authority over CVEC, based in Massachusetts, or its parent organization, the Cape Light Compact. Cape News has the full story on the conflict here.
