Falmouth Wind Litigation 30 Minute Audio

Falmouth Wind Turbine Lawsuit 30 Minute Audio

TODD DRUMMEY & others vs. TOWN OF FALMOUTH & others

2013-P-1498 February 26, 2015

At 25 to 26 minutes into the court hearing it sounds like someone is quoting Zoning Bylaw 241-66. The zoning Bylaw is 240-166.

It sounds like a point is being made that the zoning bylaw was a mistake ? A mistake made in the 1980s ?

Will the town appeal this to the Massachusetts Supreme Court ?
