In today's O-D under News Briefs: "Citizen groups protest federal energy corridor decision
Citizen groups from along the New York Regional Interconnect's proposed 200-mile power line project are united in their opposition to the U.S. Department of Energy's corridor designation. Groups in opposition to Tuesday's designation of National Interest Electric Transmission Corridors include the Upper Delaware Preservation Coalition,
SayNo2NYRI, the Upstate New York Citizens Alliance, STOP NYRI and Communities Against Regional Interconnect. "CARI is committed to continuing the fight against the corridor designation that would create federal condemnation zones for merchant transmission corporations like NYRI," said Steve DiMeo, chairman of CARI, in a news release."The NIETC decision was flawed in process and substance and the fight to block this proposal is far from over," DiMeo said. CARI is reviewing the designation documents and discussing options for action with potential partners in the opposition, according to a written statement. To learn more about the work of CARI, visit www.caricoaltion.org."

Also on Camp Road, six little ghosts dance around a scary witch!
