dams on the Klamath River, "they didn’t coordinate properly with us," he said,
adding that 70 percent of the people in Siskiyou County say they don’t want
the dams removed, "but they aren’t listening."</FONT></DIV>

audience, Haney repeated a question Lopey asked of the sheriffs and his own
response: "If we have to protect these dams, are you guys willing to stand
with me?" and "I said, ‘Yes.’"</FONT></FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Interesting.... but the Sheriffs omit the fact that these dams do not
belong to the County or "the people," but are <U>privately owned</U>. The
County thus has no say, and no vote of "the people" to "keep the dams"
means anything. <EM>What are they doing to protect the
Constitutional right of PacifiCorp to dispose of its own property however it
sees fit?</EM></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And they omit the fact that these dams, even if relicensed, are simply no
longer cost effective. In fact, FERC estimated that the dams, once
relicensed, would actually generate 27% LESS power than the little bit they do
today (82 MW), and then cost the company more than $20 million/year in net
LOSSES ... which would have to be passed on to its customers, including most of
Siskiyou County! </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>They are, in short, trying to impose Government Socialism on the Company to
force it to run its assets at a loss! How incredibly
ironic! Someone should point this out to them! </DIV>
