The roadshow is hitting Shepherdstown next week, folks!
The WV Public Service Commission has scheduled two days of hearings in the Eastern Panhandle - the Frank Arts Center on the campus of Shepherd University, to be exact - for Tuesday, Sept. 22 (12:30 and 6:30 p.m.) and Wednesday, Sept. 23. (8:30 a.m.) on the power companies' application to build the Potomac Appalachian Transmission Highline.
The approximately 140 intervenors out of Jefferson County, including the Jefferson County Commission, are not allowed to testify, according to the PSC. (I guess they believe the intervenors already have a place in the process, even though the procedures do not allow us any opportunity to speak directly to the commission. Go figure...)
That means it's imperative that as many citizens as possible show up to speak! Please, please, please consider taking off Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning to come testify. I ask for those times because the evening session is likely to be the most popular - and it does no good to have hundreds of people show up if they're not all going to get time to speak or the hearing drags on until the wee hours of the morning.
Important: If you think you don't know enough about PATH to testify, we're holding a Citizens Information Meeting on Sunday, Sept. 20, from 3-5 p.m. at the Sam Michaels Park community center. We will have maps of the PATH route through Jefferson County and other materials available, and folks involved in the fight to answer your questions. |
