Continued Tension Over Possible Wind Turbines in Labette

 

Things got heated at the Labette County commission meeting.

 

A county citizen asked a question about the possibility of entering into an agreement with RWE before the December recall election of Commissioner Brian Kinzie.  According to County Counselor Brian Johnson, RWE sent him the first proposal on the wind turbine project on Friday he then informed Commission Chairman Lonie Addis. Commissioner Cole Proehl and Commissioner Kinzie did not find out about the proposal until the meeting. Commissioner Kinzie says it will take more than a couple of weeks to work out an agreement with RWE.

 

The commission held two executive sessions to discuss what RWE had sent them. Commissioner Proehl made a motion to rescind his resolution from April and the motion passed. The recall election of Commissioner Kinzie is set for December 7th.
