Summary:

People, Politics & Public Power by Ken Billington is a 1988 historical and semi-autobiographical account of the public power movement and hydroelectric development in the Pacific Northwest. Sponsored by the Washington Public Utility Districts' Association, the book chronicles Billington’s three-decade career as a lobbyist advocating for public utility districts in both Olympia and Washington, D.C., between 1951 and 1981. Ultimately, it provides an insider’s perspective on the complex legislative battles and grassroots political efforts that shaped the region's municipal energy infrastructure.
