Boone County board members reach decision on wind farm law - WREX.com – Rockford’s News Leader

 

BOONE COUNTY (WREX) -

In Boone County, a tie vote blows away one side of a controversial issue, wind farms. Not if they should come to the area... But where to put them.

The board needed a majority, or seven votes, to pass setback amendments, widening the space between possible wind turbines and people. County board members are evenly split.

"This vote tonight, which was a tie vote, essentially says that the setbacks stay at 1,000 feet." -says District 2 board member Cathy Ward.
