Time for picketing of WAPA?

It seems to me that the officials at WAPA are disregarding our interests, and may be attempting to mislead us. As noted in a recent email from Robert Simin, and as observed by several of his neighbors including us, there is a huge generator right next to the power pole installation that is running and making lots of noise.

This is totally UNACCEPTABLE and it needs to be permanently shut off.

Several of us have sent email to Heidi, David, and Chuck, and while we need to give them some time to respond, I don't think we should give them very much time.

I strongly suggest that if you read this, you should give them a call:

Heidi Miller: (916) 353-4420
David Christy: (916) 353-4436
Chuck Cooper: (916) 353-4400

In addition, you should probably give the following officials a call.

John Doolittle, (916) 786-5560. He's our representative for better or for worse, and he needs to be urged to do something about the situation.

Dianne Feinstein, (202) 224-3841. She's requested and received a letter from Western Administrator Mike Hacskaylo that seemed to contradict what we've been told at the local office.

It probably wouldn't hurt to give Mike Hacskaylo a call at (928) 645-2741 or the local Regional Manager James Keselburg at (916) 353-4418.

Here's the text of Robert's email to Heidi, et. al.

Heidi,

What are the big generators running behind Western Power? They have been emitting a very annoying humming sound for at least the last four days. This noise can not only be heard on the bluff and across the street but at times inside my house! How long will this continue?

Rob Simin

Here's the latest from Heidi:

Hi Jonathan,

Thank you for passing on the comments. We will send you a draft after
we have had internal review.

Have a good day!
Heidi
