I live in Sather valley. The proposed power line will come right thru the center of my farm. Sather Valley is one of the prettiest spots in the state and it would be devastated by this project. The loss of the natural beauty of the valley would be heart breaking to the families living here. I want this valley to be here for my grand children’s children. I have deer and turkey and song birds and cototes and timber rattle snakes living here. I have been working to restore the bluff prairies , rid the woods of invasive species and provide the wild life better haitat. Please lets not detroy one of the few places left in the state where one can see so many different species.
