It became obvious to
both Bob Bensko (hearing officer) and Tony from AQUA our property owners are
not going to take this lying down. This was so important for them to see. The
attending elected officials also now know our side of the issue. I believe this
was the largest crowd I have ever witnessed here, probably numbering well over
300.
Mary Budreau presented
the opening comments very well and she was followed by several speakers making
their individual objections and comments quite clearly. We have a solid case
and we intend to present it to whomever necessary to obtain proper relief.
Senators Dave Syverson and Christine Johnson both spoke supporting our
efforts.
A sincere thanks to
all who came to show support or present our case to the ICC. Our voices have
been heard loud and clear by all parties. It is now up to the ICC to make the
final decision, hopefully knowing our elected officials are watching from the
sidelines.
