DIY when it comes to IP talking to the BLM

Do It Yourself--Jean Findley reports that even though our citizens' group was promised by Idaho Power in their November 12 meeting that they would work with the BLM to "diligently consider the three alternate routes proposed by the concerned Citizens' Group," the BLM in Vale, which Idaho Power has not contacted since last spring, was surprised to find we even had a citizens' group. They know now.

UPDATE The BLM has extended its scoping process until December 22, so if you have more informed comments to make, send them along to the local Vale office: (Lucas Lucero in Las Vegas is only involved with the Environmental Impact Statement)
