    He says his goal with the moratorium was to buy time for Sullivan and its residents to “get ordinances in place and have a deeper and more nuanced conversation.” Renewable energy advocates expressed understanding of that rationale.

    Sounds like his reasoning was completely understandable, so much that people pushing for solar thought he had a good point. But you keep licking those GOP boots. The adults are ready to move forward.
