In today's paper, Grant County PUD explained that the reason they did not sign on with SME was not because of the "merits of the project", but because SME needed a decision within a few months, there was not enough time to "research the matter".

Today's article also contained comments made by CCE chairman, Richard Liebert, with regard to the accusation from Tim Gregori that CCE sent "inaccurate" information to Grant County. According to Mr. Liebert though, the article did not reference his reflections:

We've strived to get information from SME of course, but NOTHING is allowed so we must use open source information, which is pretty 'darn close' and the FACTS speak for themselves regarding litigation, exploding costs, and all the other challenges... RDL
The August 25 PUD meeting minutes, which should include the decision to not move forward with SME, are not yet online, but I will post a link to them when they become available.
