Dear Ms. Madsen,

Thank you for your reporting on the wind issue in the State of New York. Given your balanced approach, I was taken aback to read your article in today's paper where you highlight the assertions made in the Acciona's draft impact statement. If you changed the developer's name and the location of the project site, the article would read the same. In short, all applications prepared by the wind developers in the State, whether in Jefferson County, Franklin County, Wyoming County, Clinton County read the same and they're often prepared by the same "experts". But the fact is, their poorly formulated arguments and methodologies designed to ensure specific scientific outcomes have been challenged by qualified people. You've reported on these challenges in the Watertown Daily Times. To give Acciona this kind of press is surprising and does not serve your readership.

Respectfully,
