Today, in the "Making the rules up as you go" Department, PATH Assistant General Counsel Randy Palmer came up with a whole new set of "rules" for PATH's 2011 Projected Transmission Revenue Requirement Open Meeting tomorrow in DC.  Perhaps we've tightened the screws with a little too much vigor lately and thrown him into a fit of pique?  Whatever the reason, here are the new "rules":

The purpose of the meeting is to explain the PATH PTRR for Rate Year 2011 which was posted on the formula rates page of the PJM website on September 1, 2010. Participants may ask questions and seek information regarding the 2011 PTRR. To the extent that the PATH Companies’ participants do not have the information available during the meeting to answer a question or information request posed during the meeting, participants may submit written information requests pursuant to the PATH formula rate protocols set forth in Attachment H-19B of the PJM Tariff. Written information requests should be sent to rpalmer@alleghenyenergy.com. Depending on the nature of the information request, the submitter may be required to execute a Protective Agreement prior to receiving the response. Under the protocols, the current Discovery Period for submitting information requests will end on October 29, 2010.
Matters not pertaining to the 2011 PTRR, including matters pending before state and federal agencies, will not be addressed during the meeting.
Photography as well as video and audio recordings will not be permitted during the meeting or within the meeting premises before, during or after the meeting.

Pardon me while I laugh myself silly, but I see exactly where each "rule" came from.  I guess I should put my screwdriver down for a bit before he goes postal.  If this guy thinks he's getting one step ahead of me, he'd best think again.  Creativity is my middle name and "no" is never an answer, but always considered a challenge.  Keep on keeping on there, Captain Acrimony, and I'll see you tomorrow.

We can generously allow him to win a battle or two but what he doesn't realize is that he's losing the war.

I think you've allocated your alliteration allowance, my altruistic ally, but with such admirable alacrity!

Yeah, it's national alliteration day here at StopPATHWV Blog. Good thing it only happens once a year ;-)

I love words!

Randy, Randy, Randy ... again the rules seem to come as needed for you and the weasels you represent. I attended the "open house" meeting in Ijamsville and, all of a sudden, when your goober reps there didn't like what they were facing they make up new "policy" to fit their needs. I attended the last meeting with you and Milo in Washington D.C. and now that you don't like what you're seeing, you make up new rules of engagement. Now Randy, I ask you this ... if everything you guys are doing is for the betterment of our country, then why all the rule changes and game playing? Be honest and up-front with us, we have been with you. I find it completely hillarious that you and your high priced lawyers (paid for with MY money) are being utterly beaten down by a bunch of nobodys trying to do what is truly the right thing! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO! QUIT WASTING MY TIME, MONEY AND EFFORT AND QUIT TRYING TO SCREW US FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN GREED! Dammit man (and I use that term lightly) HOW DO YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT!?!?!?
