Greg Panter Quotations

Frankly, we don't think that's fair and that's why we're taking such a strong position against it.

From our perspective the facts are it's a good year, but by no means a record flow.

That's water we're not going to generate electricity with.

That water belongs to our rate-payers. Our bottom line is any use of our water has to include compensation.

We have relied upon certain flows over the last 20 years. If House Bill 800 passes, we have to assume the minimum.

We were all part of economic development back then.

We accommodated (ground water) users at considerable expense to our customers. We believe the company made a significant contribution to the economic viability of agriculture in the state of Idaho.

They were asking for a court to say Idaho Power hadn't defended its water rights at Swan Falls.

We find ourselves at a focal point. We can direct attention to a quick fix and divert attention from the real issue. The real problem is years of mismanagement and over-appropriation.

It looks like we'll have something close to a normal water year. Close to historic average flows.
