    You are correct. Look back at his campaign and it will tell you he would not vote for tax increase. ECUA is a scam with no accountability. No way I will vote for him next time.

    Is he the one that ran on no rate increases? Remember election time, all these board members vote yes to raise rates every year.

    Kevin Stephens, the man who has voted YES to support every TAX INCREASE imposed by ECUA since he was elected.
