This is the wintering grounds for bald eagles and migratory path of birds and butterflies. We live on unstable ground (karst geology) tiny lake towns, lots of hills, twisty roads, tourist country all the way. The cell tower is planned to be over 300 feet tall rather than smaller towers along the way. It's "progress" to Hell. Sam Barr is a jp (justice of peace--other places would call them board of supervisors) and rather than protect our environment and "industry", he's gotta talk talk and wrote a piece in the local paper saying "way to go"...this is just my response.

I'm not against cell towers but there are some that shouldn't be. jhmo
