| Cell tower raises questions | |
| USA | Created: 12 Jul 2007 |

The Maennerchor Club in Taftville stands to earn $1,500 a month, a tidy sum for a social group, by allowing a cell phone tower to be erected on its property. But the issue should come down to more than mere money. Before any agreements are made, diligence and research are needed to determine several things, including: Is this the best site for a tower? What will the tower look like -- will it be disguised as a tree or a flagpole, as some are, or a 140-foot silver sore thumb in the woods? What are both sides of the argument relating to a possible health risk of having a cell tower nearby? Will neighbors share in the wealth, or just share in the view? Hearings will be held before any tower goes up. These questions, and surely more, will need thoughtful and accurate answers. We look forward to hearing them. |
