Cass County <br />Electric Cooperative has a long history of participating in and supporting the activities of <br />the GFMEDC. Its efforts to date have helped communities throughout our electric service <br />area grow and prosper, making our huge investment in electric infrastructure more <br />efficient and economical- not to mention the economic revitalization of the communities <br />themselves. <br /> <br />We have been deeply involved in the strategic planning efforts that lead to the sales tax <br />proposal before you. We firmly believe it is not only necessary but vital to propel our <br />region into the future with the target industries identified in the strategic plan. A <br />successful vote on the issue and the resulting investments in our region's education and <br />research infrastructure will be positive for the entire region, both urban and rural. <br /> <br />Your thoughtful consideration and approval of the proposal will be much appreciated. <br /> <br />Thank you. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br />~c::~:1s <br /> <br />President/CEO <br /> <br />P.O.
