Paul Bunyan Communications has been plastering the fact that they are returning over 2 million dollars to their members. But one question keeps bothering me. As a Coop why is it making money? The idea of a coop is to bring a service to a group of people. Coops by the very nature of the concept should not make a profit, if it does it is to return the money as it is doing. The Problem is that we hear that they are returning money every year. This would make it appear that the services are over priced.
