What a mess we have in Cape Vincent. The wind developers are knocking on the door, and we do not have a wind power zoning law to control what they do once we let them in the door. It was all created by the ineptitude of our town supervisor, Tom Rienbeck.

He likes to blame the Wind Power Ethics Group for the town board's failure to pass a new law, but let's look at the facts. On Aug. 28, 2006, the town board discussed the cost of an Environmental Impact Study (EIS). By state law, an EIS would be required before the proposed amended zoning law could be passed.
