<p>The Sumner Wind Committee has accepted the obligation to write a clear, understandable document that the citizens can feel assured will provide them with the comfort of knowing currently known impacts from wind turbines will be addressed by developer and town officials, well before they have to face the troubles of going through the expense and headaches of proving later that turbine noise, shadow flicker and property value expectations have compromised their rights.<br/>The committee further has accepted the obligation to allow the citizens a chose on allowing/disallowing industrial wind development by writing a document to which all developers will say is impossible to comply with, thus the citizen has the say to "yes" or "no" . That's how democracy works.<br/>Long live these wonderful small communities of the Western Maine Mountain Region and their courage to stand up against the overreaching, imposing power of the State when the State makes the mistake of not looking into unforeseen circumstances before providing laws on everyone.</p>
