A property owner on Butte Drive was approached this past week by Idaho Power asking for an easement right of way at 25% of the land's value for the purpose of the 500 kV line. Idaho Power will move the line wherever they can find 40% of property owners giving away rights along whatever corridor they can get.
THIS MEANS YOU. DO NOT GIVE YOUR PROPERTY RIGHTS AWAY! WARN YOUR NEIGHBORS!
This is an indication that Idaho Power is not serious about looking at designated corridors. Please contact your neighbors on either side, especially the elderly, and warn them to not let any persuasive Idaho Power employees on their property.
We wonder how many Idahoans are being asked for property easements.
