How do we get enough money to pay an expert witness by mid-September?
I am working with national now re:foundation money, and personal donars. We have some leads, but the time will not be for September.
I also know that we can do a targeted audience fund raising campaign, but we won't get close to our targeted amount of money.
Thoughts?

A realistic schedule would be to expect to have expert testimony 4-6 weeks in advance of the evidentiary hearings, with rebuttal testimony due 2-4 weeks before the hearings. So we need to have an expert identified by mid September if that [person is to get a month to prepare and be ready by late November. Sooner would be better.

I HAVE ATTACHED A NOTICE OF HEARING OF A STATUS CONFERENCE FOR SEPTEMBER 14, 2007. ADDITIONALLY, IN THIS NOTICE THE PSC SETS EVIDENTIARY HEARINGS FOR 11-28 AND 12-7. FINALLY, THE PSC NOTES THAT IT WILL HAVE PUBLIC HEARINGS IN A NUMBER OF COUNTIES AFFECTED BY THE PROPOSED LINE.
THIS EFFECTIVELY SETS THE DEADLINE FOR US TO GET TESTIMONY FROM AN EXPERT. WE SHOULD FOCUS ON OUR POSSIBLE EXPERTS WITH THE 11-28 AND 12-7 DATES IN MIND. OUR TESTIMONY WOULD NEED TO BE ON FILE IN ADVANCE OF THOSE DATES. I WILL ADVISE AS TO THE SPECIFIC DATE IT IS DUE.

My suggestion is to get an expert witness that will differ payment till later in the year or early next year. First steps are the need to identify expert and determine cost to chapter. And if there are others groups willing to share those costs. thanks, paul
