It is truly amazing how support for the Birch Solar Farm comes from folks who do not live anywhere near the proposed installation. I remember attending meetings where yellow T-shirt wearing supporters worked the crowd. At the time I could not find anyone who lived near the proposed site among the supporters.
Now a Bluffton-area resident writes criticizing our county commissioners for actually representing the wishes of their constituents in opposing the Birch tax grab. Perhaps his support for Birch would be lessened if the installation were to be built in his backyard.
Well, Mr. Andy Chappell-Dick, I support our commissioners, and I will surely vote for them when they come up for re-election. Of course, if Birch decides to move to Bluffton, I will oppose that project too.
