NOT SO SHOCKING AFTER ALL
After reading the "Shock Protection" article (11/15/18), I finally understand why Avista's merger with Hydro One is being considered. This announcement came out of the blue without any explanation of why we should do it or how it would benefit the customers. In short, if it ain't broke, why fix it?
Now it is clear. The CEO and top executives can retire to a luxurious lifestyle with the compensation they will receive as a result of this merger. Business as usual.

Zach Holland: Do you see who our president is? Anyone can run now. And win.
Lucas McIntyre: Nobody is surprised about this. But hopefully he doesn't make it onto the council.
Elizabeth Parker: Drop out. Save yourself the humiliation of a crushing defeat.
