Taum Sauk Manager

Here is a link about the testimony of David Fitzgerald, manager of the Taum Sauk plant from 1999 to 2002. David and I served on a number of school committees and his son graduated from the Lesterville High School. I found him to be one of the good guys and I'm glad that he was at the plant during this period.

I had a chance to drive up Highway U, the only place where you get a fair view of the Upper Reservoir, and on the SW corner of the reservoir I saw the boom of a very large crane. There are also three large dump trucks making round trips from the plant to some spot north on 21. So construction may not have started, but there is a lot of prep work going on.
