MTC, I think the root problem is the one party system in Idaho. The things you ask about are not a concern to them when they know the nobody is going to come snooping around

So when does this supposed investigation actually commence? The complaint was filed by Idaho Citizens for Safe Environment back in June. This is September and absolutely nothing has been done to investigate the allegations that were made, other than some passing of the buck. And prior to the formal complaint by Idaho Citizens, individuals had made similar requests for an inquiry to the Ada County Prosecutor’s Office but those were never acted upon then either. At some point the delays are simply obstructionist. Why is no one accountable in this entire process? It really is a sad commentary on local government and local politics.

I think they have moved away from burning the pacific northwests tires. The real scam is what is known as Renewable Energy Credits otherwise known as REC’s. They are like stock certificates and are sold to heavy polluting power facilities to offset the requirements that they be renewable. The credits are earned at 1 credit per killowatt hour. That would be 2200 credits per hour for the 22 Megawatt facility. these REC’s can be negotiated on future credits. Meaning they don’t even have to be making power to sell their future credits to finance todays operation. Think about the history of Wade Thomas and Pete Johnson of Dynamis and you will find the sales of non existent securities is not outside of their thought process. Think about the possibilities. Look it up. Back east some types of REC’s are selling for 75 dollars each. Idaho waste generated power will not have the same REC value, but are still worth money on the market.

EDITOR NOTE–We explained RECs in an earlier post https://boiseguardian.com/2012/03/07/trash-talk-power-politics-economics-ownership/

We have been under a cloud of smoke from forrest fires all summer long this year. Why would we ever entertain dumping more crud into the air via Dynamis. The project is nothing more than a sleazy effort to dispose of old tires from all over the Northwest.

Electrical power generation is a ruse and has nothing to do with the mission of Dynamis. This project has Idaho Political Sleaze written all over it.

EDITOR NOTE–Based on earliest comments, we feel it is potentially a tire disposal plant in disguise.

I think Sharon is her own legal department. Her is a recent FB post. “The contents of a structure, and commenting upon those contents, do not fall within the professional scope of responsibility of a county engineer.”

The law requires a response to your PRR with three days. They should have told you they needed clarification by letter within three days.

My Two Cents: Thank you for the clarification, and I agree. I have also submitted a PRR on 8-29-12 for some information only to receive today a letter asking for further clarification. 14 business days to figure that out. Are we still living in America?

That is true, about the client being in charge. Yet, even in that circumstance, a lawyer should never, ever sign or authorize such a letter. We frequently see clients ignore good legal advice, every year when the legislature passes some cockamamie law that the AG has already told them will be held unconsitutional. They get sued, and lose. Happens all the time.
