Now it appears the wind farm's opponents, which includes Gary Veprovsky of rural Dorchester, are taking court action against both the county and the wind farm developers.
The Friend Sentinel reports that the lawsuit -- which is actual the second against the proposed wind farm -- has been filed against EDF Renewables, Milligan One Wind LLC, Aksamit Energy Development, Aksamit Resources Management, Golden Rock Wind LLC, US Development LLC, York Nebraska Wind Partners LLC and Saline County.
Along with Veprosky, Alan and Debbie Brunkow, Dennis and Deborah Pallas, and Chuck and Rebecca McKay filed the complaint in Saline County Court Oct. 29.
The Sentinel story says the "plaintiffs allege public record documents were not provided as requested, conditional use permits were not filed in a timely manner, and zoning regulations for the county are being violated by the companies."
But wait -- the story has yet another twist.
"A hearing set Oct. 3 was not heard in court because the district judge, Vicky Johnson, has a conflict of interest as her staff’s family owns real estate which is involved in the wind farm project. The case has been reassigned to the Hon. Rick Schreiner, who has yet to schedule a hearing."
Interesting times down on the farm. (In the meantime, can anyone tell us if a falling windtower makes any noise if nobody is around to hear it?)
