Dave, Danny, et al:  Sorry I missed the Harrison County meeting tonight, car issues delayed me getting to the field, so I was planting till after dark.

 

Mon Power filed a new case this summer for "vegetation management" of their transmission lines.  This was proposed based on an order by the PSC as a result of the derecho wind storm and outages last summer.  They propose to treat distribution lines with herbicide, and trim or remove trees where necessary, and are proposing a rate increase to cover costs.  They estimate the cost of vegetation management at $15,000 PER MILE. 

 

 I think I want a job with Mon Power as a lumberjack.
