Here are the Recall Committee’s filings from last Friday:

Frivolous Recall Lawsuit Filed

August 6th, 2021

Note in their filings, Exhibit F for Dean Hove, which they represent to be one of “[t]he six Certifications submitted to the City Clerk, prior to signature collection are attached hereto as…” and look at the ONE for Dean Hove, Exhibit F:

And, as above, here are the TWO that were certified by the City, one on 4/9/2021, another on 6/7/2021, and the third pulled out of some nether orifice and the petitions attached to it were rejected by the City.

This isn’t that complicated… their Exhibit F could use some updating.

Frivolous? Yes, because there is no basis for this in law. It’s focused on a claim that there is a “right” to an election, and no, that is not correct. This is a continuation of “The Big Lie,” the Plaintiffs are not happy with the 2018 and 2020 elections, and are not happy that the City Council, in a 6-1 vote, fired the Police Chief. Oh well… that is not malfeasance, it is not nonfeasance, it is no basis for a recall.

Here it is, more to follow:

I’ll have comments in a bit.

New docket at Minnesota Public Utilities Commission, PUC Docket No. ET2/TL-21-434. To see all the filings, go HERE, and search for 21-434.

Great River Energy, which had planned to shut down the Coal Creek plant instead early last month asked the member co-operatives for approval to sell it, and asked the Public Utilities Commission for permission to transfer ownership of the DC transmission line. And it’s the transmission line that’s at stake, that coal plant has been losing money forever, and they couldn’t give it away. So they tied it to transmission, a valuable asset with high return on investment and revenue for transmission service provided.

Remember that CU line transmission story? Search www.abebooks.com

So now this transmission line is at issue. Rumor has it the coal plant “sold” for $225 million (and rumored breakdown was $1 for the plant, and the rest the book value of the transmission line).

And the other “asset” is available funding and “45-Q” tax credits for “carbon capture.” Dig this… from the STrib article — CARBON CAPTURE!! What a farce. They be scammin’ a la Excelsior Energy/Tom Micheletti:

And another failure:

Power plant linked to idled U.S. carbon capture project will shut indefinitely -NRG

Anyway, back to this PUC Docket and “sale” of GRE’s Coal Creek coal plant. Here is GRE’s request:

And some of the comments, quite a few individual comments too (go HERE, and search for docket 21-434):

After which the Public Utilities Commission decided to expand the Comment period until August 11, 2021!

What’s open for Comments?

Have at it — you’ve got a week!

Probable cause hearing is next Monday.

I have conflicting thoughts about this. It is framed as “mentally ill and chemical dependent” case type. Her thinking is clearly dysfunctional, but to brand waskadoodle tRumpists with “mental illness” labeling is off. This delusional dysfunctional thinking is different, but I don’t have the knowledge or training to explain. To me, it seems that intervention is necessary, and that it’s more of a chemical dependency affliction, which is the other part of the “case type” above. I’ve read some articles along this line, will try to find. We’ll see how this plays out.

Today, starting at 10:30, the Wisconsin PSC meeting is on, and last on the agenda, #15, is the Cardinal-Hickory Creek transmission line. They will be deciding whether they will interfere in judicial review of their C-HC order and make that moot by rescinding the order, and then, whether they will immediately RE-ORDER as the utilities want. Regulatory capture much?

Tune in early, because last time they ran through 40 items in 5-6 minutes!
