    Local opinion: TEP is an existential threat to Tucson

    • Lee Stanfield Special to the Arizona Daily Star

    • Andrew Katz Special to the Arizona Daily Star

    Do I wish there would have been better planning, explaining and coalition-building by this administration? Absolutely. But I am resolutely opposed to not considering the long-term safety of this country and civilization.

    Our new franchise agreement also will be accompanied by a separate Energy Collaboration Agreement that commits TEP to providing significant funding for efforts that support the City’s Climate Action and Adaptation Plan.

                    There is no secret deal, no special discount, and no “blended” rate that shifts costs onto others. Under Arizona law, utilities cannot invent rates on the side or quietly move customers onto unapproved pricing.

                    Letter: To what degree?

                      A pediatrician: undergraduate 4-year college degree, four years of medical school, three years of pediatric residency, and can spend two to six years subspecializing. That’s 11-15 years of pediatric preparation.
