Massachusetts has major problems with the poor placement of commercial wind turbines. Falmouth is ground zero for poor placement of the megawatt turbines followed by Fairhaven and 19 other communities with issues over lack of sleep, noise, health problems and taking constitutional property rights with no compensation.

The minority of wind turbine victims have been viewed as second class citizens by various state agencies.  

The Massachusetts Supreme Court just ruled against Attorney General Martha Coakley as she sought to block the casino referendum, arguing it could violate property rights of developers and they would lose their licence fees. Martha Coakley supports casinos in Massachusetts.  

Where has AG Martha Coakley been on the minority of residents losing their health and property rights to commercial wind turbine projects ? Towing the party line ?  

Martha Coakley has been ignoring the wind turbines and victims for far too long. It's time to pick up the ball and run with it. The last time she lost an election because it was a little to cold outside to get out and shake hands with people in South Boston.

How much longer can she ignore the wind turbine victims who describe the noise as torture.  

Recently Martha lost her first big political test since 2010 when 6,000 Democrats at the state party convention failed to give her the number one spot again. She did not win the party’s endorsement.  

There was one sad joke from the convention. There was a reference to finally having someone with high heels in the Governors office. The comment was that it would be more important to have someone with a high IQ. Another slap in the face by fellow Democrats ? Sad    

Martha Coakley is a candidate for governor of Massachusetts and refuses to discuss and ignore the wind turbine victims for the good of the Massachusetts Democratic Party Platform.  

Martha Coakley needs to explain her lack of taking any action on behalf of the minority wind turbine victims in Massachusetts  

How about shaking hands with the wind turbine victims ?
