BerryBlog #37
Time for Wind - Part II
Tonight and tomorrow night, Maine's Land Use Regulation Commission (LURC) will hold yet another set of hearings on
a proposed wind installation, at which opponents concerned for their "unspoiled viewshed" will fight strenously.
Unlike Don Quijote -- who lost his battles against windmills -- the opponents of these projects stand a chance.
Tonight and tomorrow's hearings, at 6 pm at Sugarloaf ski resort, are open to the public. Anyone can attend and
express their support or opposition to this proposal for a wind installation in Kibby Township. Another option is to
contact the Land Use Regulation Commission (LURC@maine.gov)immediately, with a brief statement, as well as a name and address.
For additional details on Kibby and other wind proposals, the Natural Resources Council of Maine website (www.nrcm.org) is an excellent resource.
All the best,
Seth

As your State Representative, I use this site as another way to keep
you informed and to hear from you. I believe strong communication and a willingness to
work across party lines are critical as we work to move Maine forward.
