Larry Meyer of the Argus contacted Eric Hackett at Idaho Power about the reported request for an easement for transmission lines. Eric denies that any of the three "right-of-way employees" were in this area in the past week. Our neighbor was able to describe the truck and the two men in detail, although Eric says they do not fit the description of Idaho Power's "right-of-way employees."
There seems to be no explanation for this, but it is still good practice to keep strangers off your property. If any show up and claim to be from Idaho Power, you might take a picture with a digital camera, ask for their ID, and give Eric Hackett a call at:
