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

I’m having one of those “D’OH!” moments…<\/p>\n

Remember at the tail end of the ITC case where there was suddenly a claim that the Geronimo wind project in SW Minnesota wouldn’t go on line without the ITC MVP 3 transmission project?\u00c2\u00a0 And as suddenly, Dr. Rakow of Commerce reversed his testimony on Sunday night before the hearing started Monday?<\/p>\n

Here’s a post about their claim at the public hearing that the Odell wind project couldn’t go online:<\/p>\n

ITC Midwest transmission hearing OVER!!??!!<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

From that post:<\/p>\n

Not only were these two Geronimo representatives present, but Gerinomo attorney Christie Brusven was present at the ITC Midwest DEIS Hearings and the Public Hearings. Here she is just after having posed for a photo in front of the tractors:<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Brusven_20140513_182525\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If this is a concern, is there some reason Odell Wind Project representatives did not raise this earlier?\u00c2\u00a0 Is there some reason that ITC Midwest did not raise this in their application or voluminous responses to voluminous Information Requests?<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well,I tried to bring this up at the “Evidentiary” hearing, in quotes because it was such a farce.<\/p>\n

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

The ALJ deems this not relevant.<\/p>\n

And now I see that not only is Brusven counsel for Geronimo, but she’s a lobbyist for ITC:<\/p>\n

DOH!\u00c2\u00a0 And this “new information” about Odell suddenly pops up at the public hearing at the last minute?\u00c2\u00a0 Right…<\/p>\n

Would it have been any different had it been on the record that the Odell Wind Project attorney was also attorney\/lobbyist for ITC?\u00c2\u00a0 I doubt it, but… this is yet another example of …<\/p>\n
