If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
Like to 2007
Attended a meeting Thursday evening hosted by Citizen with Municipal Power serviced by AMP-OHIO.
Seems all member communities are having the same problems. Prairie State continues to have unexpected shutdowns, and now OSHA is investigating accidents at the plant?
Then AMP:-OHIO latest debacle came front and center. AMP '"Combined Hydro"
The forecast for this Green Energy project was estimated to be free for the most part after the Bond holder's were paid. So AMP went forward to communities like Painesville with a proposal of a cost of $66.00 Megawatt Hour. Well we are now receiving that power generated from 'Run of the River' Hydro plant (no Dam) at the bargain price of $140.45 MWh! Hey $66.00 was only an estimate. Some estimate? This project alone will cost Painesville Hundred of Thousands over the life of the contract. How did this happen the energy is free?
Well to be honest AMP is a louse project manager. Contractor's walking away from the project and a total mismanagement of this project. Did AMP-OHIO pay dearly? No you did, this was another project where AMP had zero skin in the game. You remember those take or pay contracts?
Painesville presently get's 32% of it's baseload from PSEC and 9% from the combined Hydro plants. Start asking friends and family what First Energy is charging them?
Martinsville Virginia called AMP in for a explanation for all this? AMP representatives refused to answer any of Martinsville's questions?
Another AMP community was selling excess power for as low as $20.00 a MWh. yes they are also paying $140.45. In a market with a norm of $38.00 MWh.
Some of you must have noticed it seems this week Painesville Power is powered up for Peak Shaving one of the only incident's to operate that plant. I guess we pray for temperature 90+?
I will be sharing more numbers in future post.
One thing that accidentally came up that ALL Electric Department heads seemed to be in AMP-OHIO's corner instead of the municipality that pays their salary? ALL of them to much to just be a conscience?
Solution's? Well as long as city administrators keep paying the bill's and council keeps sticking it's head in the ground nothing! It's insulting to residents to watch this fiasco.
Last Sunday major communities from San Diego to St. Louis and Miami were feeling they had dodged a bullet by not having the Republican Convention in their town? Poor Cleveland!
Well I can say I'm very proud of the organizer's, law enforcement as well as demonstrator's who pulled off something no one expected! As a Clevelander you can be proud. We showed the naysayer's what this community was all about.
You needed a reason why you haven't left the area yet? Well you got a reason this week!
The cleverest sign a witnessed was " Hate's only visiting. Cleveland Loves!" Be proud.

From todays paper it seems you are the only one opposed to more funding for the DPO? Now the director claims he need more staffing then just the one he has. Begs the question to do what exactly? What a joke
For the NH to do an article on something/anything, don't you think they should nose around a little more and find out more about BOTH sides?
I think it is important to remember that the newspaper has to rely on Council for access to a lot of info. If they displease Council they will get no cooperation.
I can assure them is more than just Term who is upset at the spending of tax dollars on something like this. If we have a spare $6K just laying around it is obvious that they are collecting too much in tax dollars.
Also, I might add that with one of the Council members directly involved in the DPO, how do you think any vote will go?? Duhh!
11:55 I have no idea how to explain it other than they don't explain much.
12:55 I have good rapport with the News=Herald writer/. She quoted me correctly. I have not changed my mind. It's not so much the money ,but it is also the method they use. No one on council has a vague idea what that $28,000 a year is used for exactly. As they should.
Local government taxes residents, non-profit is given funds with zero oversight and the non-profit turns the money into helping a for-profit businesses? To the benefit of who? If you want ANYTHING in this town put a councilperson on your board. The whole system is rigged. Speaking of rigged what do all these Electric Power directors get from AMP-OHIO?
If council is going to give money away, give it to the library! I bet more residents use the library than shop,downtown businesses!
Potter,
A great idea BUT no one on Council is involved with the library.
The library is almost like a homeless shelter. I was in there and a female was roaming around the videos talking to herself and she smelled terrible. Ever gone to the restroom to find them changing and rinsing at the sink too? I have and I go to Mentor library for safety sake.
