But after the legislators grilled Carroll's financial aides and decided that taxes were indeed too high and could be cut, he surrendered to Thelma's coup.

Not only did the agency bring electricity to most of their homes fro the first time, it also cut the price of power throughout the valley by two thirds, by serving as a yardstick against which the public could judge the prices charged by private utility companies.
