Sandra Kennedy Stands Up for People Fighting Air Pollution

SRP faces backlash on proposed Arizona gas plant expansion: ‘You’re pushing it down

their throat’ 3/17/22

https://www.utilitydive.com/news/srp-faces-backlash-on-proposed-arizona-gas-plant-expansion-

youre-pushing/620542/

ACC Commissioner Sandra Kennedy, the commission’s only African American member, sparred

with Acken over the project and SRP’s efforts to contact Randolph residents. And she returned

repeatedly to the difference in how Gilbert and Randolph residents were treated by SRP.

“I think the disparity that the company has shown in what they’ve done for Gilbert and Santan is

truly over the top, compared to what they have offered a black community who has been there for

over 60 years,” Kennedy said. “And to shove a project down their throats like this is

unconscionable to me.

“I live it every day. I understand what they’re going through. I understand their pain. Like no

other individual sitting here today. I do understand,” Kennedy said.

I've heard from local officials. They've reported that Frontier did not have any urgency

responding to the June 11 outage in Navajo and Apache counties and was unwilling to assist in

That is my concern for an hour-by-hour recap on what the company did.
