Emily and others, I truly cannot speak for any of the Board Members BUT... When the vote on Crown Hydro was postponed it was placed on the May 5th agenda because Commissioner Fine would not be at the April 20th meeting. I would be willing to hazard a guess however that the two commissioners having the most difficult time making a decision are Commissioners Young and Dziedzic. Commissioner Young is very supportive of renewable energy but is mighty concerned about the possible damage. Commissioner Dziedzic is concerned because he has constituants on the east side of the river whose opinions matter to him. Many of the other commissioners have had questions about zoning, lease provisions (Commissioner Erwin) etc.. Having attended some of these Park Board meetings I see a hard decision in the making. Unlike the meeting in December where the interim superintendent was chosen this decision could have much further reaching repercussions. He could be gone in December, I would hate to be responsible for the loss of the Falls or the Stone Arch Bridge.
