Idaho Power Welcome Here
Now that the Idaho Public Utilities Commission has turned
down Idaho Power Company's proposed Pioneer power plant,
the time seems ripe for us in Malheur County to offer our
support and help to get the plant located in this county.
The County Court has previously said that they would
support a plan io build a plant here, as have other groups. We
can't conceive of any group or individual that would oppose
the plant in Malheur County, nor have we ever heard any talk
in opposition.
The Idaho PUC acknowledged the need for substantial new
generation, and as early as 1982. which is only about five
years away. It takes that long to build a plant of this
magnitude, and if something isn't done pretty soon we are
going to wake up to the fact that we are short of power. If
Idaho doesn't want the plant, we should welcome it with open
arms.
Malheur County is large, and there are undoubtedly many
sites where a plant could be built. Logically, the plant must be
built as close to the ulimate customer, and convenient to rail
shipping. A site somewhere south of Adrian could meet those
requirements, in fact would only be a few miles from the
proposed Orchard site.
Can you imagine what a plant the size of Pioneer would do
for this county? It would cut our taxes drastically, and that is
one important factor when we consider that much of the tax
burden is on agricultural land.
It would increase the availability of jobs tremendously, not
only in the building of the plant and its future operation, but
in the spin-off of other industry.
Obviously. Idaho Power is not going to build a plant just to
make jobs or cut taxes for someone. Their job is providing
electrical power. It would seem logical, however, after the
prolonged and expensive and losing battle that they have
waged in Idaho, that they would desire doing business in
more friendly surroundings.
Probably Idaho Power has considered Malheur County as a
possible site. Maybe they don't like our tax structure in
Oregon, and obviously the few miles further from the
customer would be an added expense. Maybe the Oregon
PUC would be tougher to deal with than Idaho's PUC.
Oregon has a Sierra Club in Portland that is just as vocal,
and probably outnumbers their counterpart in Idaho. Those
people in Western Oregon pay very little attention to us most
of the time, but undoubtedly we would hear from the Sierra
Clubbers if any serious considerations came our way.
So what? The early pioneers here who finally succeeded in
getting the Owyhee Dam built faced obstacles. Surely the
continuing development of electrical power sources and sites
is also worth a fight.
We like Idaho Power Company. We like the people we
know who represent the company, and we appreciate the
service that they give us. We respect their ability to do a job,
and to this date they have always fulfilled their
committments. They are the most environmentally conscious
people we know, and they are a reliable, responsible public
utility.
We would suggest that our County Court, being the only
responsible body representing all the people of this county,
let Idaho Power know as swiftly and surely as possible that we
would welcome them in Malheur County.
LETTER
TO EDITOR
Editor. The Journal:
The September issue of the
League of Oregon Cities
Information Update states
that the Department of Land
Conservation and Develop
ment has announced authori
zation from its commission to
submit a budget for the
1977-79 biennium that totals
more than SI 1 million. This is
an increase of five million
over their current budget
This announcement also
provides for an increase in
LCDC staff from 3b to 47
more members, including 15
more field members to travel
around the State.
I strongly urge citizens
interested in conserving tax
monies to vote for the repeal
of Senate Bill 100 in
November. Not only will the
repeal of Senate Bill 100 save
small communities a consi
derable amount of money,
but it will return planning
back to a local level where it
belongs.
