In an email this morning, Maine Public Utilities Commission has granted four more people "interested person/non-party status." That means Ms. Heather LeClerc, Ms. Louise Mitchell, and Mr. Peter Berry, who wrote to the Commission, and Mr. James Alciere, who called and asked the Commission requesting to be added to the "service list" will be allowed to testify at the PUC hearing - in addition to Ms. Helen Patterson, this writer, Ms. Kim Pound, and the Town of Millinocket. One little catch though - these last four individuals (LeClerc, Mitchell, Berry, and Alciere) will not be provided with copies of the filings made by the Bangor Hydro in support of their rate increase. There were two. An original and an amended which somewhat reduces the amount of the increase.)
Since the email I received by the Associate Legal Secretary of the Maine PUC included the email address of Mr. Alciere, I have been able to contact him directly. If anyone reading this blog knows how to contact Ms. Leclerc, Ms. Mitchell or Mr. Berry, please advise them of the following:
I have both filings Bangor Hydro submitted to the PUC, as well as the responses the PUC has sent to me. All have been received via email with attached PDF files. I am willing to forward these documents to any of the individuals who plan to testify at the PUC hearing. All you need to do is provide your name and email or mailing address in the COMMENT section of this blog. I check it throughout the day.
I am just trying to find out where and when this blasted hearing is going to take place. The so-called schedule that was emailed by the Hearing Examiner was cryptic at best. I sent an email requesting something in plain English with more detail. So far, nothing has been provided.
I do find it interesting to see the written communication between the attorney for Bangor Hydro and the Hearing Examiner which has been on a first name basis. Not too professional, but quite friendly.
