THE BADGER WANTS TO KNOW! In Wisconsin, wind developers seem to be everywhere. In their play-book for wind development in our state (click here to download it) they are advised to work quietly and behind the scenes in our communities, to target townships with farmers on the board who can be easily approached, and to not let the rest of the community know what is going on until key relationships are secured. We believe developers have targeted board members in nearly every township in Rock County. Are members of Rock County  township boards making deals with wind developers they're not telling their constituents about? The badger doesn't want to believe it! But if they are, and if it affects their vote on adopting a wind ordinance, it's not just dirty-dealing, it's against the law.
