ALJ Sheehy Files AWA Goodhue Wind Recommendation
April 30th, 2011
Whew, leave town and look what happens…
What sticks in my craw is this — if the law were unambiguous we would not be here today in this contested case:
And it’s that paragraph 43 and 44 that is particularly obtuse, because from here it looks as though that MOES Affidavit filed, to which GWT objected and about which GWT filed Subpoena Request, which were DENIED:
Goodhue Wind Truth – Subpoena Requests for Bjorklund and Bull
ALJ Sheehy’s Letter to Overland – Denial of Subpoena Requests
Were it unambiguous, we wouldn’t be in this contested case, and she wouldn’t be going through this elaborate dance to get to “it’s unambiguous.”
If it walks like an ambiguous, if talks like an ambiguous, it’s ambiguous…
Oh, and here’s another bizarre part, claiming that there are state standards in existence for 12 years:
Uh-huh… right…
