Politicians weigh in
Throughout the day, several politicians dropped in, including Rep. Tom Davis (R-llth) and Rep. Frank Wolf (R-lOth). Davis told a reporter that more power was needed for an overloaded system, but remains skeptical about the corridor.
Wplf opposes the designation and wrote in a letter to DOE Secretary Samuel Bodman Tuesday that states and localities must have say in designating power line corridors. The letter, Wolf said, was signed by 40 other members of Congress, who like him, are requesting more public meetings on the matter.
“The states and localities impacted by these proposed designations need to have a say in the process,” Wolf said. “We can’t have huge transmission power lines cutting through existing neighborhoods or over • huge swaths of open spate, especially over historically significant land, and deny local communities the opportunity to weigh in.”
