Lake of the Ozarks Property Rights Under Fire…Again
Earlier this year, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) announced their plan to acquire privately–owned land sold by Union-Electric, (which is now Ameren-Missouri), to private citizens over 75 years ago. We all remember past attempts by these and other entities to abuse Lake of the Ozarks property owners. Since this announcement, FERC and Ameren-Missouri have made several public statements, none of which state they intend to respect property owners’ rights. I will have a series of public meetings in the District to not only keep the public informed of new developments, but primarily to get input and information from residents at and around the Lake. The first townhall meeting will be Wednesday, December 7, at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Warsaw, MO. The meeting will begin at 7:00 p.m. but the doors will open at 6:00 p.m. There will be a sign-up sheet for emails and phone numbers so I can keep in contact with the constituents on the Lake. I need input from all residents in the Lake Area, so please put this date on your calendar. In the meantime, please sign up for my e-newsletter and sign the petition to add your name to the list of Missourians opposed to government-takeover of private property (scroll down for petition form). Field representatives from US Representative Vicky Hartzler’s and US Senator Roy Blunt’s staff will be there for information on the bills they are filing on the Federal level. I will be contacting FERC and Ameren-Missouri to also attend this meeting to answer questions we have about their recent actions. I look forward to seeing you at next month’s townhall meeting, where we will hopefully get answers and determine the next step in protecting our private property rights. If you have questions or concerns, please call my office at 573-751-3971 or email me at wanda.brown@house.mo.gov
