DIRECTOR UPDATE
Director Hillstrom reported that last week he attended a Federal Policy Forum in Washing-

how they represent our interest in DC. There was a one day briefing with congressional
staff, FERC chair and experts on power topics. The week before the forum, the Senate
Climate Bill vote was scheduled, but did not take place. But instead there were talks about
FERC Regulations, pending rules and what Westerners want to see in Climate Bills.
Director Hemig said there was another Municipal Financing Authority Meeting. Stephen
