After Commissioner Bronson recommended the new members at last night's meeting, Commissioner Jolley suggested that the Commission disband the ECP board.
She said that according to one current member of the board and at least one city staffer, the board was initially established to help the city in its endeavors to fund its 25% share of the coal plant. She indicated that the board has never discussed what is best for Great Falls and is sorry the city ever got involved with [Tim] Gregori.
She reminded everyone that the ECP board is advisory only and that it is up to the Commission to set electric rates.
While the other commissioners didn't go so far as to agree with disbandment, they did say there should be a review of the board's structure, sometime in the future, with input from the current as well as just seated members.

Maybe progress is at hand?

GO MARY!!! It just aggrevates the crap out of me that there is only 1 person on the city commission that ever has any ideas of their own!!! GOOD ones too.
Mary Jolley is ONE vote out of five. I'm sure some of the ides with which you credit her came from other commissioners. She cannot effect any sort of change by herself.
