Quick addendum.
Don’t get me wrong. I did not post this to get ”anyone” to show up here. I have no expectation of that. I posted it because I have given up hope!
I did want to make a point however, and I think when people who may not have been reading blogs in 2005/06 see these words, they […]
OK, so,
someone didn’t like my post. Wah. It is probably very uncivil of me to dare to say that. Once again - Wahhh.
Honestly, I took no offense at someone criticizing what I wrote. I did take offense at the implication that my post was in any way negative to David, better known as Grand Tzar of the GreaterFalls Media […]
Our Honorable Mayor
Responses to subjects on ECW
FOAI requests? Nothing.
Coal Plant? Nothing.
City Finances? Nothing.
Withholding Water Rights Documentation? Nope.
Truce? Nada.
So if the Mayor does not wish to discuss with us issues of great community interest, things that the citizens actually want her to chime in on, what will inspire our Mayor to once again participate in the conversations and debates held on these […]
Do you think the Highwood Generating Station will ever be built?
bramble: “Absolutely. The need for power is louder than the whines of the naysayers. I wonder: Do critics of the plant have electricity in their homes? Hypocrites.”
Hey, look at me, I must be a hypocrite! I do not support Highwood, and I have electricity in my home! Every time I flip the switch, the light comes on! And […]
GeeGuy asks a question.
Was this a legal decision? Or a political one?
First off, I am going to link where I can, but many of the documents I will refer to are several hundred page PDF files.
First off, the question that the Review Board was supposed to answer was, whether the DEQ acted unlawfully in relying on PM 10 […]
Think about it.
In 2004, SME started building trying to build a coal plant, to replace power they were losing in 2008. It takes about 4 years to build this coal plant. It is now, 2008.
In 2004, SME started trying to build a coal plant. It cost $470 million and would sell that power for “about $40 a […]
Regarding my last post, I believe the date SME is supposed to commence operations is December, 2011. Montgomery is looking at June, 2009. I think.
So anyway, we have this dispute, which currently involves four energy projects and NorthWestern Energy, with PPL in there too. We have fairly assured litigation regarding zoning. We have the environmental issues, which already have […]

The interesting things you can find on the internet.
In a Tribune piece about RUS dumping Highwood, these two things are printed.
“Litigation in the Highwood case also was a factor in RUS’s decision, Newby said. “There’s a possibility of additional litigation, too,” Newby said.
“In the letter to SME, RUS also said it was concerned that 40 […]
Water, Water everywhere…
2005
Mr. Gregori stated that they have made progress on the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and air quality permits. He added that the plant was a self-contained facility that required water usage. The City was looking to sell 4.6 million gallons of water per day and was working on an application for water intake above the […]
I just have to share this link.
This is for 3rd graders, so they can learn about local government. Check out page 16…
“You have learned why we need local government—to provide services that you either can not, or do not want to provide for yourself.”
Now I know why we are building a coal plant…
