From an
article by Carla McCannin the Janesville
Gazette:
MILTON-Leanne Glorvigen is proud that she and a handful of other residents opposed the construction of an ethanol plant in Milton and challenged city government's closed-door meetings on the matter.
"We did the right thing. We spoke up and proved our point …" Glorvigen said. "But as a citizen, I'm not proud we had to do what we did."
As a member of the Citizens for Responsible Development, Glorvigen sued the city, saying the council violated the state's open meetings law when it met in secret in 2004 and 2005 with United Ethanol officials.
The Fourth District Court of Appeals agreed, ruling March 8 that the city council violated the law while trying to convince the Beaver Dam company to build in the city's east-side industrial park.
