SME Files Bankruptcy

For most folks, this is already old news. There remains though a serious concern that this is a valid filing, considering that a quorum of the SME board was not available to vote on the decision. To top it off, SME refused to seat new Beartooth Co-op board member, Arlene Boyd. After filing for bankruptcy, the board also voted to increase wholesale power rates by 20%. Beartooth is going to fight. Good for them.
