Dominion, stop the deception
“An Oct. 26 column mentioned that Dominion representative Chet Wade was displeased with recent editorials. Why? Was the information regarding Dominion Power misleading or merely drawing attention to something Dominion would prefer go unnoticed?
From personal interactions with Dominion it seems they have a story for everything and an answer for nothing. It appears that Dominion prefers there to be no discussion whatsoever of its impending mass-seizure of county residents’ family farms and homes. This is apparent by Dominion’s massive public relations presence attempting to paint all opposition as hostile and dangerous.
Speaking of Dominion’s open house, it seemed ironic it was moved to a private venue at the 11th hour – as if to stifle dissent. Similarly, Dominion announced their application to FERC last Friday, as if they hoped it would go unnoticed. Releasing negative news before the weekend is common practice for scheming politicians and corporations who hope their actions will be forgotten by Monday. Are Dominion’s actions unable to withstand scrutiny?”
