In late February, representatives from Grays Harbor PUD joined counterparts from the Washington PUD Association and the American Public Power Administration (APPA) in Washington D.C. to advocate for matters crucial to the customers of public power. The event was part of the annual APPA Legislative Rally, during which attendees voted on policy resolutions, and engaged in meetings and briefings with legislators and their staff. The topics discussed by Commissioner Arie Callaghan and Communications Director Ian Cope included the future of the Columbia and Snake River Dams, the stability of the Bonneville Power Administration, the Columbia River Treaty between Canada and the United States, and the ability of PUD’s to qualify for federal funding.
