Petitioner wants local control of Illinois solar, wind projects returned – Center Square

Patricia Malcolm said a recent state law enacted by Gov. JB Pritzker took away the power of local government to say “no” to such projects. “I think it is horrific. I think it's communistic to take the ability of the local government, who knows what's best for the community, to take their power away for whatever reason,” said Malcom. “For him to look good with the promise of green energy to the Biden administration. What my thoughts are on it is that he did it to make himself look good, and heck with everybody else that it affects.”
