PUC Staff filed Staff Briefing Papers<\/a> which gives us some idea what PUC staff is thinking about it:<\/p>\n

Staff Briefing Papers_201410-103871-01<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From these Staff Briefing Papers<\/a>, it’s clear staff is discounting the importance of the judge’s “Finding of Fact” that ITC Midwest is a public service corporation.\u00c2\u00a0 The judge started out his Recommendation with this finding, the erroneous part highlighted:<\/p>\n

\"FoF1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

PUC Staff, however, glossed over this in the narrative, and then used the summary which did not highlight the erroneous part.\u00c2\u00a0 So today I filed a letter of clarification:<\/p>\n

This is the most important part, a big deal, yet so simple:<\/p>\n

Minn. Stat. Ch. 322B does not equal Minn. Stat. 301B.01 (or Ch. 301B).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
