Honesty Needed – Letter.
“The Water Pollution Abatement Trust, using dollars from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, gave Falmouth an interest-free loan of $4.85 million for the construction of Wind 2.
“In 2013 officials with the trust told the town that if the turbine ‘ceases to function as an energy-efficient project,’ it would require Falmouth to pay principal and interest on the loan.” Town officials would like you to believe this and have done nothing since 2012 to stop perpetuation of this myth.
after Superior Court, decision by decision, began crippling turbine operations.)
The truth about the $4.85 million repayment came to light in a sworn deposition of a Water Pollution Abatement Trust representative during wind turbine litigation.
The Water Pollution Abatement Trust representative, under oath, stated that the Water Pollution Abatement Trust, to date, had never been approached regarding whether the loan had to be repaid.
Those numbers are also in town budgets from years covering wind turbine operation (2009-2017).
The town manager’s job requires working with these budgets all the time.
It is beyond credible that Town Manager Julian M. Suso can say that wind turbine revenue numbers are not known.
The public needs to demand it.
