THE CLINTON COUNTY LEADER

Publisher Emeritus Steve Tinnen

usual results are laughter, and the responses: “Old wives’ tales” and “no bird kills.” If you think about it, coal-fired power plants burning coal, oil or gas contribute to climate change/global warming (also thought by many of our Clinton County citizens to be a “Democratic hoax”), which can lead to respiratory problems in adults and children, sometimes causing premature death. As for the “piles of dead birds” below the turbines, birds would have to be blind or mentally impaired to crash into a stationary device, even if parts of it rotate slowly.

I feel it’s time for a few of our county’s citizens to explore the validity of what they’re told and refrain from spreading ridiculous propaganda. Otherwise, wear garlic at night, since you never know when a vampire might strike.
