HAMMOND — Town supervisor candidate Michele W. McQueer said she intends to file an Article 78 lawsuit against the Town Council for procedural errors made when members passed a local law last year allowing them to act on land-use issues with a simple majority vote.
Mrs. McQueer filed a petition opposing the recently passed wind facilities law after the first public hearing in July. Without last year’s local law, the board would have needed a supermajority vote to proceed with the law due to the petition. However, the law overrules the requirement.
