For years Clark County homeowners have been subjected to unilateral action by Bonneville Power Administration, which has told them it must build 15-story electrical towers on homeowner land. This campaign has threatened citizens with reduced real estate values and possible health hazards.
Now BPA is under investigation by a U.S. agency, the inspector general, for employee incompetency in 65 percent of the cases audited. The new CEO and assistant were walked out of the building by federal investigators.
A “remedial plan” is in work. This sounds a lot like the “mitigation plan” BPA implements after damage to the environment caused by electrical towers.
What is going on? Should we allow an agency with such a report card to dig up the beautiful countryside? Do we even need the towers?
