The newspaper(Middletown) printed a story about how the Feds may be getting too much pushback from the states (and maybe the incoming democrats?) about the provision in the Federal Energy Act of 2005. This provision would allow FERC to override the state process to oversee the building of new power transmission lines if the "national interest" is involved.
Not much has been in the news lately about NYRI. Indirectly, the appointment of Pataki of a new PSC chair is being discussed. Generally, this is seen as a bad thing for a lame duck governor to be appointing someone to this position. Spitzer can change this apppointment under some conditions -- but wouldn't it be a nicer gesture if the position is just left vacant until the new governor takes his position? The Governor wants a crony appointed now.
