Oregon Trail Electric Cooperative spent almost $1 million
to extend power lines for new customers in 1994, about 30
percent more than in 1992.
The power company expects to spend about $1 million
more this year as requests for electricity grow by another
1.8 percent.

ONE YEAR AGO
from the Baker City Herald
February 8, 2019
Baker County’s state representative contends that a bill
intended to reduce Oregon’s carbon emissions could have
the opposite effect globally and also threaten one of the
county’s largest private employers.
Rep. Lynn Findley, a Republican from Vale, said during a
fl oor speech at the Capitol on Jan. 31 that House Bill 2020,
the carbon “cap and trade” bill, could have what he de-
scribed in a press release as “unintended consequences.”
Among those is the potential to make Ash Grove Ce-
ment, which operates a plant near Durkee, about 27 miles
southeast of Baker City, less competitive against Chinese
cement makers. Ash Grove employs about 115 people at
the Durkee plant with an annual payroll of $13 million, ac-
cording to the company, which is based in Overland Park,
Kansas.
