Port Angeles wind turbines likely to be a costly lesson in wasteful spending 

Credit:  LETTER: Port Angeles wind turbines likely to be a costly lesson in wasteful spending | Peninsula Daily News | Thu Dec 15th, 2016 | www.peninsuladailynews.com ~~

Your recent article regarding the wind turbines [“PA Wind Turbines Generate Regret,” PDN, Dec. 4] certainly caught my attention and should generate more than regret.

I am usually proud of my local government entities and how they spend our tax dollars.

Not this time.

How could our city council and staff approve and install these wind turbines without asking basic questions about their financial benefit?

Doesn’t any one of them think that $107,000 is a lot of our money?

These turbines will now likely cost us money just to maintain and become even more a waste of money.

I do hope that this mistake causes our local officials to be far more careful spending our money.

Grant Munro,

Port Angeles
