Judge Refuses to Dismiss Suit Over TV Tower
Madison AP Circuit Judge Bardwell denied dismissal of a suit by four Eau Claire pilots seeking to halt WKBT TV La Crosse tower construction. The pilots claim the 1625 foot tower hazards visual flights between Minneapolis and Chicago and Eau Claire and La Crosse, arguing they are aggrieved by the permit. Bardwell ruled they have standing, noting some petitioners live on aviation and their livelihood could be directly affected by the tower's erection.
