  LODI - Lodi Mayor Bob Johnson lashed out at critics of the city's electric utility after one resident watchdog asked the City Council to delay spending $1.93 million on pre-construction costs of a 255-megawatt power plant near Interstate 5.
  
  After Ann Cerney told council members the community had not been adequately briefed on plans to build the largest electricity-generating plant in San Joaquin County, Johnson told Cerney - the only person in the Carnegie Forum audience other than city staffers and the press - the city cannot wait.
  ...
  "We have been through a lot of turmoil relative to the electric utility department," Johnson said.

  Lodi Mayor Bob Johnson said a benefit of the plant is the city could then string power lines that deliver electricity directly from the source to Lodi, rather than through lines owned by other entities such as Pacific Gas & Electric, which charge for that service.
  
  "It puts you in control of your own destiny rather than being at the mercy of others," Johnson said.
