What’s on the PSC siting council docket today?
Representative Ted Zigmunt writes a letter to the PSC regarding constituents concerns because the majority of members of the siting council are from Madison. Rep Zigmunt was told that ten out of the 15 member council were from Madison.
PSC Chairman Callisto says the number is incorrect. 8 out of the 15 are from Dane County, but the other counties represented are Dodge, Fond du Lac, Green, Manitowoc, Milwaukee, Rock and Washington.
Better Plan was glad to have checked the docket because we had it wrong on our last post. We've corrected the errors and urge anyone who finds errors on our website to contact us by clicking here so we may correct them.
For those who are following this story, both Representative Zigmunt’s letter and Chairman Callisto’s reply are well worth reading. Both letters show a level of concern about this issue that is encouraging.
Chairman Calliso’s reply also contains clear information that will be helpful to anyone who wants to follow the entire process, from postings on the WSC docket to attending siting council meetings which are open to the public.
You can read both Zigmunt and Callisto’s letters by going to the PSC website [CLICK HERE]
The docket number to enter is 1-AC-231.
Better Plan attended the first WSC meeting today and very much appreciated the level of access and transparency offered to members of the public.
We'll be posting more on today's the council meeting soon.
