Local Public Hearing dates for The Geauga 138 kV Transmission Line Supply Project have been announced by Judge Stoneking.


On Friday, July 11, 2008, Judge Janet Stoneking wrote an order with wide-spread impact on all aspects of our case.

Click here to go to the case docket entry containing the order

Click here to read the full text of Judge Janet Stoneking's order

Of most immediate importance to CARE members and friends, the order fixed the dates of the following procedural milestones:

Witness Identification: August 1,2008
File Staff Report: August 12, 2008
Discovery Completion: August 15,2008
Case Status Conference: August 18,2008
File Direct Testimony: August 25,2008
Local Public Hearings: August 27 - 28,2008
Adjudicatory Hearing: September 2,2008

It is most unfortunate that Judge Stoneking did not consider the date conflict between the Local Public Hearings and The Great Geauga County Fair.
 
This year, we must forego the first day of the wonderful Fair in an effort to protect Geauga County.

There will be many more Great Geauga County Fairs, but this is our one and only chance to rescue our legacy, heritage and precious green space from attack by a merciless $32.4 billion corporation and an uncaring government.


Please plan to attend the Local Public hearings. There will be much more information to follow.

Best Regards,

Jim Galm
