Brownfield hires Lubbock attorney for Wind Power litigation
Brownfield City Council approved hiring Bill Harriger of Lubbock to represent the city in litigation with Texas Wind Power Inc. The attorney, already familiar with city lawyers, will be paid 175 per hour and is funded in the 2000 budget. The Wind Power project aimed to add electricity but stalled after funding fell through following a withdrawn government grant. Mayor Brad Moore updated council on contract history from Oct 1997 and subsequent losses.
