The eleventh-hour add-on to a 2014 state budget bill didn’t
allow stakeholders to respond to proposal, a complaint says.
A lawsuit filed this week over Ohio’s wind turbine
setbacks centers on whether landowners, developers and others had a
chance to be heard before the stricter terms were adopted as part of an
eleventh-hour budget bill amendment in 2014.
The Mid-Atlantic Renewable Energy Coalition and four
Paulding County property owners claim the General Assembly violated a rule
in Ohio’s
Constitution that limits bills to a single subject.
