The Burlington Free Press this morning featured GMD's own Maggie Gundersen and her husband Arnie, who have been a thorn in the side of the fork and spoon operators in charge of Vermont Yankee. You may recall that Douglas's Public Service Department attacked Arnie when he was appointed to the panel to review VY's operations, but who's getting taken seriously now? As the Free Press points out: “Arnie Gundersen is the only person who’s been right about Vermont Yankee every time,” said Senate President Pro Tempore Peter Shumlin, D-Windham, who two years ago appointed Gundersen to an oversight panel to study Vermont Yankee in preparation for decisions about the plant’s continued operation. Since then, the Legislature’s Joint Fiscal Office has contracted the Gundersens as consultants on Vermont Yankee for up to $47,000. Although the Legislature — and by extension the public — has come to rely on Arnie Gundersen to help them understand what’s going on inside the Vernon nuclear power plant, Public Service Commissioner David O’Brien bristles at the very mention of Gundersen’s name. O’Brien contends Gundersen’s warnings have not been as on the mark as some would suggest, is eager for attention and barrages officials with accusatory questions. Good work, Arnie and Maggie! |
