Form 990-ez, Part III, Line 28
“During 2020, rocky mountain power sued the city of midway because midway was trying to require that new major power lines that were going to be installed be buried underground to preserve the nature of the community. Volt citizens, inc. Assisted the city of midway in becoming educated and supported the city's legal battle. Volt also jumped on as an additional petitioner to continue to hold supporters' rights at the forefront. The facilities review board of utah allowed this. Although the volt failed in court, the the organization appealed to the appellate court of utah. The city of midway later settled with rocky mountain power. Unfortunately,the initiative to bury the power lines failed.”
