To the Editor:<\/p>\n
(Madison, NY – March 2013) What is happening in Madison is sad.\u00a0 A company has come in from another country and deliberately divided what was once a peaceful community.<\/p>\n
Representatives from this company are working hard to convince everyone involved that there are only two sides to the debate over windmills when this is clearly not true.\u00a0 Those of us who are fighting for regulation aren\u2019t fighting to stop the windmills but just want to put reasonable settings on their height and their impact on neighboring people\u2019s lives.\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s not pro or anti wind.<\/p>\n
We despair of our town officials who are not helping us reach a compromise that is fair to everyone.\u00a0 Instead of an open forum discussion, they say they are going to mail out a survey.\u00a0 What kind of questions will this survey pose? Will it simply say, \u201cDo you like windmills?\u201d\u00a0 Who wouldn\u2019t say \u201cyes?\u201d That is not the issue.<\/p>\n
Our town board is not facing its obligations.\u00a0 They are stonewalling discussion. This is a vital issue that will impact Madison and Hamilton and Waterville and Brookfield, yet the interests of the few are overriding the interests of many.<\/p>\n
I urge all of the residents of the area to take note of what is happening.\u00a0 Look at the website Madisonmatters.org.\u00a0 Because Madison does matter.\u00a0 All of us do.<\/p>\n
