More Grannis bons mots. He referred to Gavin Donohue, the head of the power group, as “the William Henry Harrison of DEC commissioners.’’
Donohue held the job Grannis now has for 17 days in 2001. Harrison was the nation’s shortest serving president, dying on April 4, 1841, 31 days after he was sworn in.
Grannis also talked to the group about the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a plan to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions in the Northeast, commonly referred to by its acronym, RGGI,, pronounced “Reggie.’’ He then pointed out that a similar program beyond the Rocky Mountains could be called “Wedgie.’’ (Western Gas – oh, you get it.)
