CAPE VINCENT —Town Supervisor Urban C. Hirschey has asked for state Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo's opinion on wind farm-related conflicts of interest in the town.

Mr. Hirschey asked if two councilmen who have signed leases with wind developers may participate in discussions on a wind zoning ordinance, vote on the ordinance and vote on a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement, road use agreement or other town agreements with wind farm developers.
