Legislature Affirms Opposition To Wind Farm Project
The Oswego County Legislature voted Thursday to oppose a New York Power Authority project that would locate dozens of huge wind turbines in Lake Ontario. The vote was 20-4-1. Nearly 30 members of the Oswego County and surrounding area spoke about the pros and cons of the project for about two hours before the vote.
