Marin County just decided to set up a county-wide power authority. So
yes, in many places "the power utility is the city".

Yeah, but that's California where the word for government ownership of the

Several cities in that greatest of red states, Texas, own their electric
utilities, including the capital, Austin (a blue island in a sea of red). Also,
Garland, near Dallas, as red as you can get.

OK, when did red shift from liberal pinko commie red to god fearing conservative
red?
