THE SUNZIA TRANSMISSION LINE PROPOSAL GETS DE-RAILED, FOR AT LEAST 60 DAYS. THAT'S HOW LONG STATE LAND COMMISSIONER AUBREY DUNN WANTS SO HE CAN BRING HIS OFFICE UP TO DATE ON THE PROJECT. DUNN SAYS THERE WAS VERY LITTLE PAPERWORK AVAILABLE TO HIM WHEN HE TOOK OFFICE. HE'S ISSUED A 60 DAY RIGHT-OF-ENTRY SUSPENSION, GIVING HIS OFFICE, AND OTHERS, A CHANCE TO EVALUATE THE PROPOSAL.
DUNN SAYS WITH ALL THE PRIVATE LAND INVOLVED AND THE STATE TRUST LANDS WITH GRAZING AND OTHER BUSINESS LEASES, THERE HASN'T BEEN SUFFICIENT TIME TO DISCUSS THE PROPOSAL. HE SAYS HE WANTS THE CHANCE TO MEET WITH THE PARTIES INVOLVED AND PRESENT THE FACTS TO THEM.
DUNN'S PLANNING TO HOLD TWO PUBLIC MEETINGS ON THE SUNZIA LINE IN MARCH. THE PROJECT WOULD CROSS 89 MILES OF STATE TRUST LAND.
