I do not see that any of them are making decisions that are best for Palmdale and its residents. All four are making their decisions based on their relationships with Lancaster power brokers, and their hatred of Ledford. I’ll also be working with friends in the other districts to make sure that Bishop, Carrillo and Bettancourt are out when their terms end. I will be working to make sure that he is not re-elected. ![]() ![]() I am bitterly disappointed in the representation I am receiving. They bought the first thing they saw without doing their due diligence. The council could have elected to look at both options. You should check the local blogs, and see how many people currently on the Lancaster Choice Energy plan are upset at how much MORE their energy costs are than with SCE, to the point of trying to get the LA media to cover it. While I understand that there’s distrust with the county, there is even more to fear when Lancaster is involved. Had they elected to keep their options open by pursuing both programs until the actual rates for Palmdale residents from each program were determined, they would have been doing what their first priority should be: looking out for the residents of Palmdale. You are not thinking this through entirely.īy signing on exclusively with Lancaster, Hofbauer, Bishop, Carrillo and Bettancourt gave away Palmdale’s chance to negotiate the very best rates for Palmdale residents. The best option would be for Palmdale to create its very own energy unit, completely independent of anyone.Īs a Palmdale resident though, I fully support the decision to stay away from L.A. Was it smart for Palmdale to link up with Lancaster? Maybe not. The program with Lancaster is, at least, only with Lancaster and it is heavily regulated by the State should an issue arise, so I trust it much more than anything involving the county. I can almost guarantee that is exactly what would happen here. It would be just like the county to come out here and throw up their solar farms all over Palmdale and ruin our landscape, take the power generated from them and give it to all of the cities down below while Palmdale gets screwed. ![]() And, quite frankly, nobody in the AV should! They have screwed us over so many times. We stood up collectively and said “No!” To this day, the county is shortchanging the Antelope Valley when it comes to dealing with homelessness. At one point a few years ago, the county wanted to use our local desert to dump sewage from down below. Remember, this is the same county that has screwed our whole valley over repeatedly by dumping sex offenders, homeless and low-income housing here. It ISN’T stupid for Palmdale to not want to be in any agreement with Los Angeles County.
