Comments on Nov. 13, 2023, NID Staff Report: Plan for Water - Gary Zimmerman, Economist, Nevada City, CA
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this Staff Report. As an economist who has previously commented on the Cost of NID’s earlier Infrastructure Proposals, as well as many other non-NID proposed projects, as a university professor who has taught graduate seminars in Environmental Economics that included the analysis of the costs and benefits of proposed projects, and finally, as an NID Ratepayer, I would like you to seriously consider my comments and questions on the Nov. 13, 2023, Plan for Water Staff Report.
