The video speaks for itself. In a nutshell, after TPUD’s General Manager, Paul Hauser’s neighborhood powerlines were knocked down by a winter storm, Hauser allegedly had TPUD attach a transmission line to the existing overhead cable without going through the appropriate channels, potentially putting the entire County at risk. The 12,000 volt line ran along the forest floor and over a creek for allegedly a year before it was installed underground. Read all about it in the Record Searchlight. In a wildfire plagued community, this seems like a severe lapse in judgement.
