BRACE/The Independent When electrical contractor and Clean Power Now member Steve Peckham saw this Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound poster at the airport urging islanders to attend last night's Minerals Management Service public hearing on Cape Wind's wind farm proposal for Nantucket Sound, he called Airport Operations Manager Al Peterson to see if he could post two Clean Power Now signs. Peterson told Peckham to bring his signs in and the airport would put them up. Normally, the airport does not allow political signage on what is public property, but because the Airport Commission is against the location of the wind turbines, and because Peterson said it does allow signs for what the commission believes is of community benefit, he let the Alliance put up its signs. After Peckham's complaint, Peterson said he had the two signs from Peckham put up in the Annex housing Cape Air and Island Airlines where he thought they would get more traffic. Peckham said he never saw them and Peterson acknowledged that one had been ripped down. Shortly after that, he said, he ordered airport janitors to remove both the Alliance and Clean Power Now posters. If Peckham sees only Alliance posters at the airport again, he plans to file complaints with the town and the Federal Aviation Administration. More ...
