While stock law was the dominate conversation topic at Monday’s Montague County Commissioner’s Court meeting, a lengthy agenda was addressed.
Bryon W. Barton, member of the Montague County Heritage Association a group advocating against the development of wind farms, spoke to the court during public comments expressing their concerns about not being allowed a place on the agenda.
Barton said his request has been denied for two meetings and they find that troubling, questioning the court’s relationship with industrial wind farm corporations.
In a press release given to the media after the meeting, Barton states the agenda item was to learn of the commissioner’s policies and intentions for wind farms, and have the court members publicly register their position and activities on offering tax incentives, tax abatements or other fiscal inducements to industrial wind farm corporations.
