Boone County to vote on wind energy Jan. 15 - News - Rockford Register Star - Rockford, IL
County Board members have not been exempt from the hostility.A letter sent from unnamed "Concerned & Fed-up Residents of Boone County" to board members in December warned them that members will be held personally and legally responsible if they vote in favor of putting a wind farm in a rural setting."If any of the board members in favor of these projects are under the delusion that their life as (they) know it will not be personally affected, they are dead WRONG. A futile legal battle will be fought to the bitter end," the letter stated.
