Illinois Commerce Commission Files Comments in PATH's Section 205 Docket

11/23/2011

The Illinois Commerce Commission filed comments this morning in Docket No. ER12-269-000. This is the docket for PATH's Section 205 filing to change the definition of "interested party" to exclude retail ratepayers.
Just go read it. I promise you'll enjoy it (unless you're one of those power company lookie-loos, in which case DON'T look, because it might make you lose your appetite).

HHAAAAAAAH!!!!!!It's our 'party' so just cry if you want to.... Like I said from the start. The fastest way to get what we want is to get to the bottom line (or the top line, if you will- "We the People") as efficiently as possible. I do believe folks, we are now on the verge of a Constitutional issue that just might attract some interest. (THANKS RANDY for framing it so splendidly) If corporations can be people, why can't people be people? Let the Supremes have a go at this one. First, D.C. Circuit though....Gosh Randy, ya gotta stop stepping right into it like this, although if you leave so much *#@* all over the place, you are bound to stumble into it. C'mon FERC. How long can you avoid ruling on this without someone looking for mandamus? Delay is relative. It is arguable that if a decision isn't rendered within a year of the true up, FERC is prejudicially avoiding the issue to the direct detriment of ratepayers. These persistent annual challenges (which will NOT stop) are just the people's way of stemming the tide of money getting sucked out of ratepayers' wallets into corporate bank accounts with nothing to show for it. Yeah, FERC has discretion to delay, but it just does NOT look good in today's economic climate. Tolerance for these inside games is wearing dangerously thin. THANK YOU ILLINOIS!

The Ill. Commerce Commission are the good folks who brought us this: http://www.ferc.gov/legal/court-cases/opinions/2009/PT1FG750-opinion.pdf The Seventh Circuit decision remanding PJM's cost allocation scheme to FERC. Ill. didn't want to pay for Project Mountaineer when the costs were assumed to be prudent. They certainly don't want to end up paying for PATH's waste-o-money advertising and propaganda programs and their accounting "mistakes" that always end up being in PATH's favor. What a dumb move PATH maybe this one will go all the way to the Supreme Court.
