Yep Penny. I say I have a new appreciation for the dynamics of how lynch mobs and witch hunts come to be and operate. There seems to have been a weird coming together in our town of slimey developers, town government outsiders and insiders, old and new petty grievances, greedy people with weak moral compasses and the promise of money and opportunity for one-up-manship. The wind machine played on all of these and more and the result is now lurking in the presence of five towers on a hill no one hardly knew about before but is now come to be prominent in everyone's view as they come into town. At one of the last hearings, I said to the Planning Board, so you get to decide who gets thrown under the bus. And they said yep. Didn't hear any regret in that reply, just gloat.

Wow Paula. What's unsettling to me is the neighbor throwing neighbor under a bus scenario, but in your case it went beyond that to vandalism, intimidation and creepy behavior of the so-called "freedom fighters". The fact that they operate under cover of darkness isn't so different than pulling a sheet over your head.

The people setting off firecrackers in the town office parking lot to celebrate when the vote results were announced was kind of a big clue.

We did put the sign back up, but we lost the setback vote and the town won the proof vote. The website came down quite soon when we started tracing to see where it was coming from. And there was never much question in our minds over who was doing this stuff.

This happened in June 2014 right before our petition vote to make the setback one mile from property lines instead of 4000 feet from houses. And the vote revising our Ordinance to put the burden of proof of violation on the complainant instead of the wind facility operator. The state police recommended a game camera. Just having the SP and the county deputies park in the neighborhood frequently and stand guard at meetings helped a lot. The stake with a threatening message that was placed by our steps from the 'freedom fighters' was a more icky feeling. Sneaking behind our house in the dark, yuk!. How brave of those 'freedom fighters'. The topper though was the website 'Clifton Blaze' with totally anonymous libelous crap about the members of our task force. They called me a 'nasty little troll'. Can you imagine?? And the town admin put a link to it on the town Facebook page.

Make sure that sign gets put back up with surveillance

Isn't it funny how the signs for the right and the signs for the people who really think are always the ones that are destroyed? It is like the goons being hired to disrupt the campaign of one of the candidates. Has anyone ever seen Hillary or Obama signs desecrated?

You need to put a game camera out. Be interesting to see who's messing with your right to free speech.

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT
******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********
(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/
