Different take on the NY consultant in today's FREEP.

Covering legal costs PUB's idea: consultant

A New York consultant who blew the whistle on Manitoba Hydro says it was the provincial regulator's idea to have her legal bills covered at an upcoming hearing.

The woman, who can't be identified, said Tuesday that having taxpayers cover her legal costs is crucial if she is to appear before the Public Utilities Board defending her case that Manitoba Hydro was improperly calculating its financial risk.

Oh what a difference a day makes....

What legal costs does she have? Why do people need lawyers for things like this?

In yesterday's paper, it was reported that some of the costs would be for insurance also, but lawyers would be needed to make sure she didn't say anything that was 'tortable'. Smile

She wants to prove that she is not wrong but she wants the rules bent so she cannot be sued , if she is .

I agree.

It's pretty obvious that Hydro wants to get her and she knows it.

Assuming of course that she is
A) telling the truth

I too have noticed an unusual increase in Hydro "events" of late that seem out of the ordinary.
