As Thanksgiving draws closer this week, we at CUB are feeling thankful for lots of things: the enduring natural beauty of Oregon, the people who make our state a national leader in environmental protection and renewable resource investment, and the support from our members and our partners who have sustained us through 30 successful years of consumer advocacy in Oregon. It is this support that has allowed CUB to save Oregon consumers over $6 billion since our founding in 1984!
To celebrate all of these blessings, CUB is having a blow-out 30th anniversary party on Thursday December 4th, and we want YOU to join us! The evening will feature an 80’s inspired trivia game and tribute band, raffle prizes, local libations, and a catered reception featuring local hors d’oeuvres. RSVP today at oregoncub.org/cub30.
CUB has come a long way from our grassroots founding through a ballot initiative in 1984. The Oregon utilities fought against the measure with a well-funded campaign committee and slick TV ads arguing that a newly formed Citizens’ Utility Board would turn out to be just “a boondoggle”. Over 30 years of hard work and collaborative effort, however, CUB has proven, many times over, the need for an independent consumer advocate voice to intervene in utility regulatory proceedings and legislative initiatives. In 2014 alone, we saved customers $136.4 million, ensured long-term support for Oregon’s Renewable Portfolio Standard, persuaded Pacific Power to close a coal plant, and much, much more.
We could not have accomplished all of this without YOUR support, so please join us on December 4th to celebrate! RSVP Today, and we’ll see you there!
