The article mentions that as wind companies target land in Orleans County, including property owned by officials on planning boards and other local government officials, a conflict of interest may arise for those officials in reviewing the projects. It states that "Local officials may also face other conflicts of interest when they vote on projects that may directly or indiregtly benefit themselves or their families"
James Magavern, a senior partner from Magavern, Magavern and Grimm in Buffalo, NY will be the guest speaker. He concentrates in the areas of health, corporate, state and local government law.
