Mrs. Gail Miller is the contact for the Venice TWP wind power project. She wanted to update us on the wind power project. Mrs. Miller stated that 2 of the county commissioners are pro wind and hired an attorney at $480 or more per hour using the tax payer’s money to represent them at the Ohio power sighting board adjudicatory hearing. She also stated it takes all 3 commissioners to sign the waiver for republic wind to proceed. Right now they are at a standstill. Mrs. Miller brought us some maps to show the locations where the turbines are supposed to go and read information about the wind turbines meeting at Camden Falls on Tuesday October 16th at 5:30 pm.
