LIBERAL FIRST
Liberal's leading source for news and views
As Seward County commissioners continued to question how a wind energy project would benefit the county, an attorney with the law firm representing Invenergy was brought into the picture at Monday’s special meeting.
Alan Anderson with the Polsinelli Law Firm said with 24 years of project history, much is now known about how wind energy works.
Following presentations from Invenergy and attorney Alan Anderson, landowners addressed some of their concerns about potential wind energy projects at Monday’s special meeting of the Seward County Commission.
County resident Steve Merz said one of his concerns was the concrete blocks on which turbines are built affecting the percolation of rainwater farmers rely on for their crops.
“It’s going to create a dam, and that’s not going to be good for the land up above it,” he said. “That land will suffer.”

Three new cases of measles have been confirmed in Morton County, linked to a previous case identified in Stevens County last week.
While measles is highly contagious, vaccination remains the best protection against illness and spread.
If you or your family are unsure of your vaccination status, now is a great time to check. Confirm you and your family members have two doses of measles vaccine; MMR is routinely given at 12-15 months and again at 4 years old. Even 1 vaccine will give about 93% protection.
