This is sad, maddening, and frustating all at the same time. We had a similar problem with NIMBYs moving into the area. A housing development was built abutting a farm in Hamilton and the residents who moved in got together and tried to force the farmer to stop using propane cannons to scare away birds. I've lived in Hamilton all my life and don't even notice the cannons. They're not that loud anyway unless you're out in the field and standing right next to one. Luckily, the Right to Farm act, which is a federal law, exempts farmers from noise regulations regarding such devices. The people in the development had no chance in reversing the law, but it burns me that people have the audacity to move to an area and attempt to dictate change in such a way!
This B.S. in Tabernacle is no different. Perhaps the only thing worse than losing open space to development is rural areas losing their very character. Man I hate suburbanites.
