| Whitewater Forum : Who wants to play Activist Tuesday at SnoPUD? |
Author: jP Subject: Who wants to play Activist Tuesday at SnoPUD? Posted: 18 Feb 2016 at 2:12pm Well ,we didn't need to bring torches or pitchforks. There was a whole auditorium filled with Extremely Outraged ratepayers, and while the intensity was entertaining, I have to say that listening to many peoples' stories was NOT fun. There are a lot of people out there essentially getting raped by SnoPUD over a change in the way SnoPUD bills its ratepayers. They switched form a bi monthly billing cycle to monthly billing, but they still only check the meter every other month. So they "Estimate" peoples'bills every other month, and this has resulted in a huge mess. Several people said there bills jumped from $200 or $300 a month to upwards of $700 and in some cases, $1000 or $1200 bills. Many of these people were stepping to the mike waving stacks of previous bills, stating that there is NO WAY they used nearly the amount of power to justify these huge rate spikes. Tha's the summary, but rather than rehash it here, someone else has taken the time to compose a very detailed and articulate account of Tuesday Night's meeting. Here's the link: http://www.nash4homes.com/sell-home-seattle/will-snohomish-county-puds-outrageous-bills-affect-snohomish-county-home-values/ Way to go Irene- its a very good accouont of the meeting and there are also some very good points raised about how SnoPUD is potentially having a negative effect on property values and people's willingness to move to Snoho County. After all, why would you buy a house somewhere where your monthly mortgage could become prohibitively expensive after you fork out an unreasonable amount each month for your powerbill? Seriously- it is clear that something is wrong with SnoPUD's billing practices. Whether it is faulty meter reading (not much evidence to support that), or there's a glitch in the software they are using (more likely) still remains to be seen. Regardless, the SnoPUD commissioners really seem detatched. Like they don't even know what the hell is going on. It sure obliterates any confidence that they can plan for and manage a project like the one they are proposing up at Sunset. There are so many valid reasons to tank the proposal and deny them a permit to proceed. Naturally, though when you go out and talk to the "average ratepayer", it makes sense to gain their attention by pointing out the facts related to the cost of the project and the fact that it is an irresponsible, bad deal simply form an economics perspective. Some new information is coming to light regarding just how bad the economics deal of the so-called "Sunset Fish Passage And Energy Project". Looking at the interest rates for paying this thing off doesn't look good. Its looking like expensive power. I need to get those figures and then I can share them here. The bottom line is things are heating up. SnoPUD is NOT popular right now. Ratepayers are pissed, justifiably so. The 90 day comment period has just kicked off recently and we need to hit this hard over the next three months. I'm still feeling slightly behind the curve on all of this, but that is changing. For now, I'd like everyone who is invested in Protecting The Skykomish River's Free Flowing Status to just keep your ear to the ground. Things are about to start happening quickly and we need involvement. I will have more details by the end of the weekend. I'm also planning on paddling saturday on the Sky. So if you are headed out there, give me a head's up- I might have some info for you. |

| Whitewater Forum : File your eComment with FERC today! |
Author: jP Subject: File your eComment with FERC today! Posted: 18 Feb 2016 at 3:11pm Some tips for writing comments... If you are tooo busy or not much of a writer, that's cool- just tell FERC you are against the dam. Apparently they don't care about the finances (what rubber stamp agency does, right?). But details about negative impacts to Fish habitat, the Landslide within 350' of where they want to blast the tunnels, etc do matter. And by commenting on these concerns, all the other agencies who have a stake in this permit process will recieve your comments (Fish and Wildlife, Dept. of Ecology, Tulalip tribe, etc). If you have a mor elengthy comment (you know, like me :) you may want to type it out in another program then cut and paste it. This is what FERC reccomends. |

| Whitewater Forum : Class 2/2+ whitewater kayaking trips wanted |
Author: jP Subject: Class 2/2+ whitewater kayaking trips wanted Posted: 18 Feb 2016 at 4:20pm Awesome matt. I'm still down. I'd like to run the Pilchuck River into Snoho sometime but I'd like to make it a longer distance run from Machias or something. So maybe you want the nomad for that one? Either way- we should try to do that soon. Btw- the term is "flip" or "capsize". Tipping is what you do for your raft guide ($$) |
