Vote "YES" to look
for a buyer

Voting yes [on Tuesday, April 6th] only means the city can look
for a buyer for telecommunications. Ketchikan KPU cannot complete
against GCI, AT&T etc. in the telecommunications business.
We would need to buy massive equipment to keep up. This would
suck out all the money and some day we will have to sell because
GCI etc. has a lot more money to build these connections. We
cannot keep up with these big outfits.
This does not mean we are selling
our utilities. Voting yes means we will look for a buyer for
the telecommunications part of the system.
Let's at least look for a buyer.
