11. Health Issues- Torture of Wind Turbines 2012
In 2013 the Town of Falmouth has to take responsibility for the poor siting of commercial wind turbines. The mediation over health issues has gone on for eight months.The mediation provided participants with realistic but fictionalized scenarios.
The Town of Falmouth has a Representative Town Meeting form of government in which they have voted to put financial concerns ahead of health concerns of potentially one hundred homes and residents. Falmouth town meeting members rejected a measure that would have shut down the town embattled wind turbines at a town meeting. Today money trumps torture and even death, money becomes blinders to all but money.
The wind industry ,state and local officials ,semi-quasi state agencies encouraged by the Governor Patrick Administration’s goal to expand wind power continue to risk the health of citizens.

Town Meeting Members and local politicians have to publicly recognize the physical illnesses and emotional suffering caused by operating wind turbines! Senate President Therese Murray (D-Plymouth) is worried about the health of the citizens living around the turbines.Why not Town Meeting Members ?
The town is deliberately inflicting acute pain by one person on another for financial gain.
Happy New Year ?????

WOW, what great citizens we have here in Falmouth. These folks deserve better neighbors and elected officials. What a shame.
