Public commenters criticize commissioners over wind-project actions and call-in rules
Summary
During public comment, multiple residents criticized commissioners for perceived disregard of constituents on wind-energy issues and questioned a rule limiting phone call-ins; one caller called the change "chaotic" and asked why remote participation was restricted.
A public commenter identified only as "J." accused the commissioners of pursuing legal actions against constituents and of stalling projects that voters oppose, saying the conduct was "inconsistent with your oath" and urging accountability. The speaker said recent FOIA requests show commissioners are willing to spend taxpayer money rather than allow a public vote on wind projects.
A separate caller, Ron Tibbit, phoned in to ask why the board changed rules to restrict remote call-ins for regular meetings; the board responded that the change followed chaotic in-person public input and that the restriction was intended to restore orderly meeting management. The board did not reverse the rule during the meeting but agreed to take feedback and explain the policy further.
