Letters | Marijuana growers should pay more for electricity

Letters | Don’t forget the mercury at Xcel’s Valmont plant
(Re: “Is city’s municipalization plan the next ghost at Valmont Butte?” News, Feb. 28.) You guys hardly mentioned mercury. Fly ash doesn’t get all of it, especially when burning dirty coal...
