Laidlaw Energy Group, Inc.(fka LLEG)

[rich sears]

The point of bringing up the status of the NY case was only intended to question why a company that says it has enough money to build a multi-million dollar plant in Berlin, can’t afford to pay it’s attorney fees in NY. Something I would think their NH attorneys must be keenly aware of. And the community of Berlin should also be aware of.

Hopefully the original author of the quote below won’t mind that I borrow it for this response. Since it shows that the community will get opportunities to be involved throughout the process. So while the process will be in the hands of the State, I suspect the community will have more influence on the process then some would believe.

Also, Amy Ignatius (State Energy Office Director) was responsive to an email I directed to her yesterday as follows:

"The public has a right to intervene in a case before the SEC, which you may want to do if the Laidlaw project reaches that stage. (Nothing has been filed.) The public also has the right to make a statement, without full intervention. And when an application is filed and deemed "complete" the review process officially starts with a public hearing in the area in which the project would be built. That is, for a Berlin proposal the full Committee would take a site visit to see the property and hold a day or evening hearing in Berlin to hear comments, pro and con, and questions of concern, brought forth by the community."
