This is a story about wind farms being proposed for the DeKalb-Sycamore area. I think the public ire would have been there no matter what the subject. The public officials did not know how to handle a public meeting with many citizens demanding to have their voices and opinions known. There are (as of this writing) 47 comments to the article. One wonders if the public disgust is not aggravated by the way officials handle not only the meeting but the whole governing process. Do most governmental units really want any input from regular citizens? The elected officials won the election. Voters by their vote “stated they will abide by their decision— Correct?
