hold the line on higher taxes...

It is time to stand up and be counted and stop letting the left wing tax you out of your home and waste your money on functions which were never contemplated to be a responsibility of county government.  It is time for open and honest government and time to make developers pay the real cost of development instead of laying those costs off on the public.

620 Acres in Hillville to be Zoned Industrial and the County Commissioners Did Not Hold Public Hearings for Folks that will be affected.

20 Kilowatt Wind Turbine Soon to be Erected in Saint Mary's (Post #1)

By Rich Johnson, on Jan 24, 2010

This was the first of 2 Concrete Pours for the 100 foot tower.  We will wait 4 weeks after the last concrete pour before the tower is raised.  Before we raise the tower, we will run conduit up the tower for getting 3 phase power that will be generated by the turbine.  We will also install the 15 foot blades and tail.  We hope to offset our power consumption and analysis indicates we have a 10 MPH average wind speed which will equate to 19,727 KW Hours generated per year.  That is 60% of my consumption.  If the wind average goes to 12 MPH on the average, this wi
