False Accusations

1/7/2011

7 Comments

 
Well, it looks like someone's mad, doesn't it?

Today, counsel for PATH filed their Objections to Ali Haverty's Fourth Set of Discovery Requests.  Right away Melick jumps in with a rather bold accusation, "Ms. Haverty intends to use the information to disparage Applicants."  Really?  And how would you know this with enough certainty to phrase it as a statement of fact?  Can you read minds or something?  That's really stretching it, even for ol' Melick.  Gosh, I wonder who really wrote most of it?  Who ever it is must be as ticked off as Cheetah the cat was over a little water washing the dirt off his paws.

Here's a translation of what ol' Phil is trying to say about the Sheffer invoices "incorrectly" being recorded to regulatory accounts that were subsequently recovered from ratepayers in 2009:  We took money out of the ratepayers' pockets that we were not entitled to and we got caught! 

And what's that about Ali "disregarding the position of Applicants that 'the use of responses to Information Requests propounded under the protocols is limited to the purposes identified in the protocols'"?  This holds no water and is simply the puffery of Randy Palmer.  There's no confidentiality requirements in the protocols and the information was provided without benefit of a protective agreement.  You know, I could tell Randy to go jump off a cliff if I wanted to, but that doesn't mean he'd have to comply.  Someone's still a little sore that we wouldn't sign his after-the-fact protective agreements.  PATH wrote their own protocols and now finds them difficult to live with.  Too bad, so sad, that's what happens when you want the public to pay for your project.  With public funding comes transparency.  If PATH didn't want to risk that public scrutiny of their activities could "disparage" them, then maybe PATH should have pursued a course of action that held them above reproach.

Blah, blah, blah... none of what Phil cites has any relation to the possible wrongful use of public funding, which is the case here.  Ten pages of this crap?  Really?

He finishes up with another accusation he can't back up:  "Ms. Haverty’s latest discovery request was plainly propounded to vex and harass the Applicants." 

PATH and their attorneys haven't got a clue, but they do a great job of showcasing their guilt.  There's definitely more here than meets the eye.  Stay tuned.

"The precious, they've stolen it!"

Utterly ridiculous, and now they've started making wild, disparaging accusations against pro se intervenors.

It seems to me that something is a "stink" around every corner with these guys. I have this recurring picture in my head of cockroaches scrambling from the light and they're all wearing t-shirts that say Meyers, Palmer, Melick, etc ... on the back. What a complete "charlie foxtrot" this fiasco has become for them. If there actions wern't so detrimental to the ordinary ratepayers it would be pure ammusement.

Working for lawyers most of my life, they usually have an intern or some lower on the totem pole person write these replies and briefs and they the higher ups put their names to them.

Oh, these aren't normal lawyers, Pam. These are the really slimy kind. They're also really stupid. I can't imagine some underling working up quite a head of steam like that to take it upon themselves to insult a woman who is only trying to keep them honest within the system they themselves designed.
Only someone caught with their hand in the cookie jar who is desperate not to get found out would lash out with such venom. Someone who knows they're already beat but can't admit it to themselves just yet.
Too late for them anyhow... the truth has already been exposed. Now they're left with nothing but empty threats and anger in their arsenal.

Pretty funny to watch :-)

Allegheny's lawyers accuse Ali of doing something wrong and thats nothing but guilt talking. Ali is doing the right thing and PATH is doing the wrong thing stealing from customers pockets. How dare they! More threats and bullying of the citizens. Shame on you, Allegheny Energy! Allegheny is the one doing something wrong here and Ali is just the whistle blower.

Stuff it up your ass, Allegheny and Palmer!!!

    Keryn Newman blogs here at StopPATH WV about energy issues, transmission policy, misguided regulation, our greedy energy companies and their corporate spin.
    In 2008, AEP & Allegheny Energy's PATH joint venture used their transmission line routing etch-a-sketch to draw a 765kV line across the street from her house. Oooops! And the rest is history.

    StopPATH Blog

    StopPATH Blog began as a forum for information and opinion about the PATH transmission project.  The PATH project was abandoned in 2012, however, this blog was not.

    StopPATH Blog continues to bring you energy policy news and opinion from a consumer's point of view.  If it's sometimes snarky and oftentimes irreverent, just remember that the truth isn't pretty.  People come here because they want the truth, instead of the usual dreadful lies this industry continues to tell itself.  If you keep reading, I'll keep writing.
