CAPE VINCENT — Advocates of industrial wind development and a former town supervisor demanded Cape Vincent Supervisor Urban C. Hirschey's resignation Thursday night, accusing him of illegally leaking "privileged and confidential" information to an anti-wind group to assist it in a lawsuit it filed against the town Planning Board.
"Nothing short of dismissal from the office would be acceptable," said Thomas K. Rienbeck, former supervisor and a member of the Planning Board, who argued that Mr. Hirschey was working against the town's defense of the lawsuit by acting as an agent for the Wind Power Ethics Group, which Mr. Hirschey co-founded.
