CAPE VINCENT — The town Planning Board plans to switch law firms in a symbolic gesture to show it has cut all ties with its previous attorney who, board members said, had been representing the interest of his pro-wind clients on the board.
Planning Board Chairman Richard H. Macsherry said the board hopes to sever its relationship with Whiteman, Osterman & Hanna, Albany, because its former attorney with the law firm, Todd M. Mathes, tried to “manipulate” the town engineer, who raised questions about a study on ambient sound levels conducted by Hessler Associates Inc., at the direction of former Planning Board Chairman Richard J. Edsall.
