Some Pushback To Wind

A group of Toledo area residents, opposed to wind farms in northern Ohio, want state lawmakers to give them a chance at the ballot box to block new turbines from being built near their homes. Legislation being debated in Columbus would allow township residents to circulate petitions for voter referendums on decisions made by a state board that regulates wind farm sites. Current law allows the Ohio Power Siting Board’s rulings to override local zoning regulations.
