BACK UP THE TURNIP TRUCK!!!

Recently Mr. Wiley at the CV JLL blog asked the question how many Cape Vincent citizens just fell of the turnip truck or came down with yesterday's rain?  

He was asking this question in regards to an explanation provided by BP in the WDT about the fact  that a NY PSC commissioner Maureen Harris has a husband John Harris  that is also the lawyer to BP’s CV Wind Farm.  Some say Wiley was just posing a simple rhetorical question.

You can spin his statements any way you want but the implication is clear...we WOULD have to have fallen off the turnip truck to accept BP’s explanation.  Especially considering that the U.S. Justice Dept. charged BP as felons, criminals, and of lying to Congress over their Gulf oil spill disaster.

However, here is the problem. The BP explanation is basically the same as the NY PSC explanation on this PSC commissioner BP lawyer conflict issue. Like they are talking out of the same mouth.  Anybody surprised by that???   Here is what the WDT reported on the BP explanation.  Chandler is BP’s project manager for the Cape Vincent Wind Farm.

Underlining emphasis is mine.

“ Mr. Chandler echoed the PSC’s statement that Commissioner Harris has “nothing to do” with the Article X review process”

OK, since the BP and the PSC statement are virtually the same on the BP / PSC conflicts issue, then when did we all of a sudden start believing BP, or the NY PSC for that matter that only now is addressing the conflict, when we caught this cozy little relationship?

Any of you believe this BS????

Well what do ya say we see what the Town officials of CV believe.  Here is their response to the PSC explanation…keeping in mind it “echoes”  BP’s explanation. Underlining emphasis is mine.

“Thank you for your prompt response to our December 12 letter.  We appreciate the assurance that you have provided that Commissioner Harris will not be part of, nor have any influence on, the deliberations that lie ahead for us in BP’s Article 10 proposal”

 Hhhhmmm...sounds like the Town of CV officials are all warm and fuzzy about the PSC (BP) explanation.

I guess Mr. Willey better take his turnip truck over and back it up to the Town offices!!!
