    A couple of the supervisors were thinking real hard when reports of health issues were being presented

    Ms Stish was practically pleading for someone to give her a reason why it’s not the best thing to do to cozy up to Dominion since it’s already a done deal, and i will say this.

    Dominion is not well loved by county governments along the route. The BOS here is about the only friendly turf they have, and like any abused partner, we will end up getting the worst deal in the end. They will sit with us dressed up nice in church, then abuse us at night after the spotlight is off and the deal is done. 32,000 horse power compressors will double within a couple years to 64,0000 (or more). The BOS will finally start to complain (too late) and Dominion will keep on rolling to the next conquest and the next and the next.

    The Bos expected us to have hard facts that could counterbalance the expected 1.4 million dollars annual tax revenue, as if the threat of one case of cancer or asthma or explosion,leaks, air pollution, noise wasn’t enough to at least make them rethink their original ringing endorsement and instead adopt a more cautious approach

    They are probably really pissed at us that they can’t do their happy dance without us spoiling their party. And of course from our perspective, they are all onboard the titanic dancing while we’re trying to ask the captain to slow down for fear of icebergs.

    Perhaps a better approach for our resolution would have been to open a study committee to do further research and revoke the original endorsement .

    Exactly what I expected to happen happened. I dealt with these
    guys for years. No telling how many terms Chambers and Talbott
    have served by now. I’d hoped, though, that they’d say we’ll take a look and consider it carefully—and THEN hand it back LATER. But hubris reigns supreme, AND the chance to swat an annoying fly bothering them in public. That’s us: flies at their picnic. Let’s continue to be pesky for the right, though our definition is in terms of people rather than money.
