LYME, N.Y. -- Wind power advocates in the Town of Lyme win their court battle over the adoption of a zoning ordinance regulating wind power. In July, the citizens group Voters for Wind filed a challenge in the New York Supreme Court claiming that the town board rejected a petition which would have required a three-fourths majority vote to pass the wind regulations.

The State Supreme Court decided the board acted arbitrarily in rejecting the petition, and ruled that the adoption of the law was invalid.
