Falmouth April Town Meeting "Show Me The Money"

Massachusetts

A wind turbine article will surely appear on the warrant for Town Meeting or Special Town Meeting April 4 and 5 , 2016.

There may in fact be multiple articles.

Falmouth wind turbine number one has been shut down since October of 2015.

The Town of Falmouth faces multiple lawsuits over the wind turbines and one of which could be heard within the next few weeks in Barnstable Superior Court.

The Falmouth Select Board will start warrant deliberations Monday February 8, 2016. Every six months for years Town Meeting has been asked to tackle this ongoing problem.

Taxpayers are going to keep on paying . The original purchase price of two Vestas V 82 commercial megawatt wind turbines purchased by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center in 2004 was 5.2 million.

The litigation of the turbines and negotiations has surely surpassed the origanal purchase price. A failure in basic economics (101)

Here is a safe bet for the April 2016 Town Meeting Members :

A . An article to appropriate the transfer of money to the town’s energy receipts reserve to cover costs incurred by stopping Wind 1.

B. An article seeking to increase the town’s legal budget, due to labor and wind turbine litigation expenses.

Notwithstanding this heavy wind tax burden every six months, the political elites in Falmouth have previously put forward numerous proposals to raise taxes even higher., Apparently, it has never occurred to them that perhaps they should address the endemic waste, fraud and abuse that permeates all levels of government.

More than 45 Falmouth residents have complained to the town’s Board of Selectmen about a noise described as torture. The Falmouth wind turbines have blown up a political storm in Massachusetts that has resonated throughout the wind energy industry worldwide.

The Falmouth residential home owners are the original stakeholders. Massachusetts made a catastrophic mistake placing commercial megawatt wind turbines too close to residential homes

Dismantle the turbines, stop the mounting financial catastrophe
