VOTE: Will You Go with the Flow of Electrical Aggregation?

The public has spoken, and The city will work with an energy broker to identify potentially cheaper energy sources.

Ald. Chuck Toland thanked readers for voting, and advised them to sit tight while the city seeks out cheaper energy options.

"With the passage of this referendum, I wanted to let you know the city will do its due diligence and determine a substantial savings for the residents," Toland wrote in an email. "If there are no savings, we will not take any actions.

"If we are going to make a move on your behalf, we will continue to educate the residents so that you can make the decision if you want to go along with the supplier we choose or opt out. There is no reason to opt out at this time because no decisions have been made. You will not be opting out of anything except the chance to see what your savings might be."

Some might have their minds made up already. Are you one of them? Will you choose to opt out, regardless of the city's findings?

Now that the referendum has passed, share your thoughts with Patch.
