Anti-wind people seek to protect land values

 Anti-wind people seek to protect land values

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2011


On Oct. 24, the Watertown Times published in this space a letter from Dwayne Martin of Governeur titled “Anti-wind people seek to control private land.”

I’d like Mr. Martin to know that he is right. Anti-wind people are seeking, in part, to control (protect) the market value of their land. Most everyone in this discussion, except the wind companies, has land value at stake. So, yeah, I guess the anti-wind people are guilty as charged. I was unaware that was an exclusive right of farmers with otherwise dormant backland.
