Editorial: Finance committee makes sense for MCE

With a membership of 34 politicians on its board, MCE should be no stranger to public debate.

For most of its 15-year history, MCE – originally formed in 2010 as Marin Clean Energy – had dodged that bullet.

But some members of its board, which has representatives from 34 cities and counties around the Bay Area, are raising questions about the public agency’s finances and rates. They are getting pushback from staff and other board members on a proposal that the agency create a finance committee.
