Windmills are beautiful! I object to Councilors Fritsch and Thompson calling windmills "eyesores"(Addington Highlands Council, Mar 19/15). I happen to think that they are beautiful and I would gladly look at them every day so I could admire their beauty. Having said that, the municipality will receive compensation, which will benefit the ratepayers through lower taxes and perhaps enhanced community facilities. Also, there are now severe restrictions on where windmills can be located. If we start compensating neighbours who are affected by so-called "eyesores" where will it end? Should I be compensated for having to look at my neighbour's rusting wreck in his front yard?
