| Recently, I found out that 2 of my best friends and their son, someone I grew up with and I dearly love, are jeopardy of losing their home. Not from foreclosure...these are responsible people who work hard and pay their bills on time. No, they're losing their home because a powerful agency has the authority to step in, tell them what their home is worth and then force them out. The Transmission Agency of Northern California (TANC) is erecting high voltage power lines, towers, and substations through Tehama County as well as our neighboring counties. Their chosen route is through my friends' property, thus it can be taken through the power of eminent domain. Here's the new view for Red Bluff...I can hardly wait! |
| I will have much more to say on this issue. Until then, here's a little video to give you a preview of my thoughts. |
| Click here to watch it on youtube. You can comment there. Pass it around, get involved in your community. I have an idea...we could change the town motto to: Red Bluff...a great place to live and soak up the EMFs. Red Bluff...a radiant place to live. Red Bluff...a place where people literally glow. Drive through scenic Red Bluff...it's like visiting the inside of your microwave. Red Bluff...a place for active families...radioactive families Red Bluff...clinging to guns, religion, and high voltage power lines. You get the idea... If you don't like the idea of being invaded by unsightly power lines, or the potential health risks that are involved, then write a letter! Write to the address on the slideshow until June 30th, 2009. You can also write to: Tehama County Board of Supervisors P.O.

| Update on the article below: TANC has been stopped, but there is still no official word on whether Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) plans to step in and continue plans for power lines through the same areas. For now, homeowners are breathing a sigh of relief while keeping a close eye on WAPA. |
