  Town of Morrison Votes to Raise Levy over Wind Farm Issue

"I wish it would have never came. I wish the [wind] farm would have never came, because it is destroying neighbor relations and family,"

-Todd Christensen, Morrison Town Chairman

Residents in the Town of Morrison voted Tuesday night to raise their own tax levy.

At the heart of the issue is a proposed wind farm in southern Brown County.

Nearly five times as many residents showed up to the annual town meeting -- mainly to discuss the potential wind farm.

The project hasn't yet been approved by the state's Public Service Commission.

The extra money from the levy will be used to argue the town's position -- whatever it may be -- regarding the proposal.

The town chair says it's an issue that's dividing this small town.

"I wish it would have never came. I wish the farm would have never came, because it is destroying neighbor relations and family," Todd Christensen said.
