LAWRENCEVILLE - Gwinnett County commissioners are expected to vote on high-power transmission lines Tuesday. <br>
<br>
The power line debate has escalated as some residents between Grayson and Lawrenceville are protesting a plan by the Municipal Electric Association of Georgia to put new transmission lines in their area. <br>
<br>
Commission John Dunn says the county's lawyers are still working on how the county should proceed. But he has said he would favor a moratorium to give state lawmakers time to form policy for handling future conflicts between power company and citizens. <br>
<br>
He says a recent Superior Court ruling that overturned Cobb County's nine-month ban could affect Gwinnett County's decision. He says he's not sure whether the county can legally set up a moratorium on the lines.
