Oronoco Twp Appeals Transmission Decision
Oronoco has Petitioned the Supreme Court to review the Appellate Court’s affirmation of the decision of the Public Utilities Commission to route CapX 2020 transmission through Oronoco Township. I don’t have a copy of the Petition yet, they send mail by ox cart, but I found out, thanks to a little birdie:

HERE IT IS!!! It arrived in the inbox! Maybe it’ll appear in the mail tomorrow.
I’m having a hard time understanding why they think it’s a good investment of public money to challenge this decision — the Rochester paper says they’ve spent $300,000 on this — but why? The further you get from the administrative process, the harder it is to turn it around, the more deference a court gives the administrative process, which starts out at “great deference” and goes up from there. WOW! Well, here goes!
