HAMMOND — The anti-wind farm group Concerned Residents of Hammond has quickly challenged the legality of the wind law a lame-duck Hammond Town Council passed Monday. The decision to pass the law brought a swift response in a lawsuit filed Tuesday afternoon in the St. Lawrence County clerk’s office, Canton, by the residents group.
“We fully expected this action by the present board,” said Mary D. Hamilton, the group’s president. “We were hoping the outgoing supervisor and councilmen would have better understood the November election results. If this board truly had the best interests of the residents of Hammond in mind, they would have allowed the incoming board members the opportunity for input on this issue and would have ceased this process and cooperated to allow that to happen.”
