What PGE wants to do..

It has been in the news. They want to clear cut and clear out their easements so drones can monitor their pipe line ways without obstruction. This is what I was told off the record by a PGE employee.

 They cam last week, and then yesterday put these stakes all over our property. We have been here since 1928.

 Even the stakes are eye sorees, one blocks my pathway through a gate and they are hazards if you walk into one. Heavy duty wooden stakes. 1 by 2's I think.

 They will not cut any trees or removed any sheds , fences, or our garden without a fight. Court. Also, do not sign anything from PGE. This is still far far from over.

 Thi sis not just about some property owners and home owners losing some tress, a pool I think in one case, and sheds, fences etc, it is about PGE thinking they can do whatever they want, in any city. Even in your own yard. Cut down your trees that pose Zero threat to any pipeline so they can use automatated drones to fly the easements and inspect the pipelines. And other reasons, which all revolve around saving them money, making them money, and not about us and our rights.

 Like I said, we have been here since the 1920's, and this is unbelievable and very depressing..
