The city chose poorly for their consultant. There were other alternatives but the consultant led the city down this path because it helps keep his gravy train running because now they will have to keep paying him consulting fees to be in MISO for the next five years. Too bad it is going to cost the citizens of Lake View money for his poor advice.
