"Six gas and electric companies are part of the alliance," NM USA Executive Director Carla Sonntag told those attending the lunch at The Red Barn Restaurant in Silver City on Friday, Oct. 23, 2015. "Two are in Arizona."
"Always write your elected officials when you have concerns," Sonntag advised. "We, as an organization, are focused on the companies, but keep in mind that the shareholders are also paying customers. We're most cognizant of our customers. It is key to stay balanced between shareholders and customers."
She introduced elected officials in attendance, including Public Regulation Commissioner Sandy Jones, Lordsburg Mayor Arthur Clark Smith, Grant County Commissioner Ron Hall, Silver City Mayor Pro Tem Cynthia Bettison, Lordsburg Mayor Pro Tem Alfredo Morelos, Silver City Councilor Guadalupe Cano and Silver City Mayor Michael Morones. Sonntag also introduced PNM Senior Vice President of Public Policy Ron Darnell.
