Thunder Bay City Council has voted to support the settlement with Horizon Wind. Mayor Keith Hobbs asked to have the vote deferred but the motion was lost; he had a number of questions he wanted administration to answer. Councillor Iain Angus says too much money is at risk to not support the settlement. Councillor Andrew Foulds says if the City had to pay for the 126 million dollar lawsuit it would mean they would be unable to pay for any road work for several years. Hobbs voted against the settlement as did Neebing Councillor Linda Rydholm. The final vote was 8 to 4.
