Cobb EMC reform group endorses separate candidate slate

Take Back Cobb EMC released its own slate of endorsed candidates last week after allegations surfaced that candidate vetting sessions conducted by an EMC owners group were influenced by EMC management.

Cobb EMC members will vote on March 31 for six new members of the EMC’s board of directors.

Take Back’s endorsement list includes Tripper Sharp, a plaintiff in a 2007 lawsuit against the co-op that led to new board elections and transparency initiatives. Sharp was beaten out for an endorsement by the Cobb EMC Owners Association.
