DOMINION POWER LINE
Lobbying Groups Form on Both Sides of Issue
Two new groups have formed to push their views on a high-voltage power line planned in Northern Virginia -- one for the controversial proposal and one against it.
The Coalition for Reliable Energy, which includes several chambers of commerce, said yesterday that Dominion Virginia Power's proposal would help ensure an adequate power supply for businesses. Dominion will provide the group with guidance and some funding, said William D. Lecos, president of the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce.
Virginia's Commitment, based in Shenandoah County, emerged as an opponent of the 65-mile power line. The group said the proposal would hurt property values and encourage air pollution.
