What kind of a "lobbying effort" do you mean,
Jim?
WV Highlands Conservancy still has about $ 3,000 of
funds that were provided specifically for StopPATH related
advertising. There has been a lot of StopPATH advertising in the
eastern panhandle, but virtually none outside that region, as far as I
know. The eastern panhandle media outlets reach west over to about
Tucker County.
Cindy Rank and I have control of these available
funds. We would like for these funds for StopPATH advertising used in
the Buckhannon-Weston and/or Charleston area media markets.
We already have the print media and radio & TV
media spots produced. Those were produced last year with grants from NTHP
(National Trust for Historic Preservation) and Sierra Club. And so the
"credits" roll at the end of the videos and on the print media ads give credit
to, among others, Sierra Club for producing / airing these
ads.
The funds we have can be used entirely for air
time and/or print media space. But we need someone who knows
something about media advertising to coordinate having these ads aired and/or
printed in the media markets I indicate above. Having someone
knowledgeable about media advertising could help us get the most air time /
print space for the $$$$ available.

say that the PSC has extended the Schedule for the PATH case again.

> PATH will have until March 31 to file additional data on its
case, including revised electricity demands and reliability forecasts based on
upgrades to other lines. They must also file a complete set of data,
including all previous testimony, revisions, substitutions, additions and
deletions, to assist intervenors in unraveling this increasingly complex
case.

> Intervenors (that's us) must file motions for "discovery"
on the supplemental PATH testimony by July 22, and must file our new "Direct"
testimony by Aug. 11. After several rounds or responses, rebuttals and
more discovery, the evidentiary hearings are scheduled from Oct. 11-26.

testimony we might need by Aug. 11, as well as how to continue the lobbying
effort on this campaign.
