Summary

The January 2000 Beacon reported that Attorney General Jennifer Granholm’s office challenged portions of Great Lakes Energy testimony in the Beaver Island power inquiry. The article summarized competing cable-cost and financing figures, including an expert’s view that the proposed monthly island charge could be $6.69 rather than $9.76, and said an Administrative Law Judge still had to rule on the motion.

Evidence limits

This is a newspaper account of an inquiry in progress, not the complete motion, testimony, final order, or executed utility agreement.
