Van Jones on Ballot Measures 2B & 2C

Van Jones, the former White House Special Advisor for Green Jobs, discusses his support for ballot measures 2B & 2C in Boulder. Measures 2B & 2C give the city the authority to investigate the feasibility of creating a municipal power utility. 29 cities in Colorado (Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Longmont, etc) and thousands across the country already run municipal power utilities. 2B & 2C have been endorsed by the Daily Camera and the Boulder Weekly. For more information and to see the list of thousands of local businesses and citizen endorsers, check out http://www.RenewablesYes.org.

Van Jones is the founder of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, Green For All, and was named a "Hero of the Environment" by Time magazine one of the "12 Most Creative Minds of 2008" by Fast Company.

This is just PERFECT. And Xcel has to be rethinking their condescending adverting regarding their "AD" campaign. Boulder is SMART and this issue is the way forward! Vote Yes on 2b and 2c. We want that 15 Million profit to stay in our local economy.
