In this case, Xcel was issued the CUP on condition of the expenditure of $4,610,000 <br />dollars additional ($5,000,000 vs. $390,000). <br />In our case, mitigation could virtually be a wash if the project is just moved a few hundred feet North. <br />htt ://www. oNverlinefacts.com/South%20St%2OPau1%2OResolution.htm <br />But, to have the ability to affect the outcome, Orono, like South St. Paul, would have to "bite the bullet", stay <br />in the loop, and not abdicate authority to the PUC. <br />It is really not an overly complex set of criteria to consider as you will see from the above: referenced decision, <br />and 1 submit it does fall within the City of Orono's normal authority domain. <br />Please don't relinquish your opportunity to defend your city, its environment, and its citizens. This project will <br />not only affect each and every one of us, but our children, grand children, and children's grand children for <br />years, and years, and years to come. <br />Very truly, <br />Jet" R.
