City Authorizes City Attorney to Intervene in Transmission Line Decisions

The City Council has unanimously authorized the acting city attorney to take part in the decision-making process concerning NVEnergy’s goofy idea to place a new set of powerlines across the area of the proposes fossil bed national monument. (CNLV)

The Sun and the Review Journal report that Mayor Shari Buck has been in contact the the poohbahs over at NVEnergy. Buck claims that the NVEnergy folks are “aggressively” looking into alternatives. (LVSun,RJ)

Generally good news, it seems. It’s probably still a good idea to keep bugging your representatives about it:
