Mailbag: Re; OpEd: Wind Turbine; Tom Alisankus Writes:

The following is in response to your Op Ed re: Wind Turbines.

When the wind energy proponents realized that the proposed Union Twsp. large wind turbine ordinance was supported by unimpeachable scientific and medical research--and thus completely defensible in court--they took their well financed lobby to the Wisconsin Legislature to stop us. They realized that our ordinance--the product of hundreds of hours of hard work--would likely become the REAL 'model' ordinance for local communities around the state, which would mean that the wind companies would not be able to put these turbines where ever they wanted, thus losing thousands of dollars. And you've already detailed the rest. Funny how fast the Legislature can move when it wants to.

This is government at its worst. It highlights how morally bankrupt some of our representatives in government actually are. And it all has to do with money. In other facets of society, they have a name for people who trade something immoral for money.
