Trust is especially important but how much trust do taxpayers have in the day to day operations of the Town of Falmouth ?
The Falmouth Town Meeting only half explained the 1.8 million dollars offered by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center to pay for the litigation costs associated with the ongoing litigation costs of the two town owned commercial wind turbines.
The Falmouth Town Manager explained people have the offer all wrong but never explained how they got it wrong and in fact never has explained the Mass CEC deal except to say the town never received any documentation ? Who is he taking orders from Governor Patrick ?
The purchase of the two commercial wind turbines are the worst mistake made since the Town of Falmouth was incorporated.
The turbines have caused massive health problems, residential constitutional property rights issues and a list of litigation suits out the front door of town hall.
Now your being asked to restore your trust in town government ? Ask yourselves if you have lost trust in how Falmouth spends your money. How about listening to the wind turbine victims living around the wind turbines.
These people are living around ground zero for poorly placed wind turbines in the United States and the Town of Falmouth remains in denial.
Folks, you were asked to build the turbines years ago while your local politicians put the commercial wind turbines ahead of schools, water and sewage to satisfy a Massachusetts Democratic State Party Platform of 2000 megawatts of renewable energy by the year 2020. The purchase of the turbines was a waste of money and time. Look at Falmouth today going backward in time.
The town politicians put commercial wind ahead of the local infrastructure and Falmouth Town Meeting Members continue to follow the poorly written wind turbine script provided by Governor Patrick and the Executive Branch of Massachusetts government.
You were asked to build the turbines and it would only cost you the price of a cup of coffee every day. The high school was just the price of two people going out to dinner every year. Now your being asked to pay a all inclusive vacation for a week to the Caribbean every year for clean water and sewage ?
Falmouth needs to clean house.
Fix the wind turbine problems, help your neighbors. For the sake of humanity demand your local officials stop spending tax dollars on a state renewable energy goal for the sake of a political platform and get your house in order.
Stop the torture and stop wasting your tax dollars trying to deny the truth. The turbines are hurting people!
