As most of you know, the ugly thorn in our side, yes those ugly, noisy, landscape-scarring, dark sky-eliminating electric generating wind turbines are also an enemy to none other than State Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi (R-9th Dist.). St. Sen. Pileggi, who happens to be my State Senator in Chester (and in my former home in Aston Township), strongly opposes the building of these turbines on our State Game Lands and State Forests. After sending an e-mail to him in February, I received a letter, dated 3/11/08, from the Senator, stating that he was not only opposed to the building of the turbines on state-owned property, but will fight any proposals from Gov. Rendell if they come up in the appropriate Senate committee, as they will require approval from both houses of the State General Assembly if such projects are considered in the future. As of such, he will be saving my e-mail, along with any others and will use them when members of the State Senate meet in committee to discuss such bills when they come up for a vote in the future.
