HAMMOND - Just over a year after the confrontational end of the last public hearing on its local wind energy law, the Hammond Town Council will hear public sentiment once again at today's hearing, scheduled for 7 p.m. in the gymnasium at Hammond Central School, 51 South Main St.

"Local residents can speak on the law," said town Supervisor Ronald W. Bertram of the evening's format, "but I don't think the hearing is the place to rehash several years of opinion." Mr. Bertram said that citizens may speak aloud or provide written comments to the town council. "Depending on the volume," of letters, he added, written submissions may or may not be read aloud. Comments can also be made on the town's website, www.townofhammondny.com, according to the supervisor.
