Tacky. A political statement. A personal agenda.

Those were just a few of the critical comments from DeWitt County Board member Dan Matthews towards the invocation given by former Board member Cris Rogers at last Tuesday night's special meeting of the Board to vote on the Alta Farms Wind project. The comments came Thursday night as the County Board was set to adjourn from their monthly meeting.

Vice-Chair Camille Redman defended Rogers. Along with Matthews, Board members Travis Houser and Nate Ennis voiced brief statements of support.
