18. 18 Sample Testimonial It has been my pleasure to work with Mark Burns in developing Green's electric and gas aggregation programs. Green was one of the first municipalities to initiate an aggregation program and Mr. Burns' knowledge and drive were instrumental in getting this accomplished in a timely and cost efficient manner. The city of Green has saved its residents literally millions of dollars in reduced costs for both power and natural gas. Given Mr. Burns extensive knowledge and customer responsiveness, I would recommend him unconditionally to coordinate any utility based study. Dan Croghan, Mayor, City of Green, Ohio
