"Thorough and intellectually rigorous"

Our story led the Channel 2 Eyewitness News. Fortunately for us, the NCAA playoffs delayed the news until we got home from the three hour Oregon PUC Hearing, so we could watch Bruce Corn alternatively driving a John Deere over Wettstein farm ground, and standing on the edge of Kennington Farms property overlooking the Malheur Butte. You did good, Bruce. Thanks, Kiersten and your videographer.

I won't say much tonight because I have visitors driving in from Yakima. But I will quote the OPUC's Administrative Law Judge following 45 interminable minutes of Idaho Power corporate Powerpoint filibustering. It didn't do your PR efforts any good, guys.

Here's what Judge Allan J. Arlow said after Stop Idaho Power's Board of Directors each gave testimony: "I've been to a number of these PUC meetings, and this is the most thorough and intellectually rigorous set of presentations that I have ever seen."

Well done, presenters, and well done to all who attended Standing Room Only. Your support is much appreciated.
