It's been months of back and forth debating about a project spinning with opposition and Monday, was no different.

A decision about the wind turbine project in the Wolverine Canyon is still up in the air.

Bingham County Commissioners met Monday afternoon, after delaying a decision about a week ago.

This time, they found a potential conflict of interest in the Planning and Zoning Committee's previous vote. Now, they're tossing it back to them to look at the problem a little closer.

The latest development in this spinning saga is one of the newest members of the Planning and Zoning committee, Larry Kohler.

He owns property near the Wolverine Canyon and participated in the vote back in April.

Commissioner Wayne Brower said this was Planning and Zoning Commissioner Larry Kohler's first public hearing and doesn't believe he had bad intentions.

"Whether he understood all of the rules or not, I don't know. I'm hearing that he made a comment that he owned property in the area," said Brower.

He says the law states that if you're a property owner then you have a potential conflict.

If Kohler doesn't have a material interest in the wind turbine project, then he will continue to sit as a voting member.

But if he does have an interest, then he will not be allowed to be a part of the voting process.

Ridgeline Energy, the company that hopes to build the turbines, said this on-going turmoil is a first for them.

But they're confident it's only a matter of time until a decision is made.

"No one was trying to hide anything. We feel it's going to go back, it's just going to be a matter of looking through it. No one is going to be pointing any fingers at Mr. Kohler and thinking that he did anything wrong. Certainly we do not," said Rich Rayhill, Vice President of Ridgeline Energy.

Brower says it's the commissioners' responsibility to follow the rules and the law. But they also have to be sure to look beyond the controversy.

"Obviously because of the high profile of interest in the county and outside of the county, it's understandable that people are looking for a process to derail this or are looking for opportunities to make it go forward," Brower explained.

A controversy still spinning all put back to the beginning.

Bingham County Commissioners admit, this time, it's the county's fault, so the cost of the next public hearing will land on their shoulders.

But Ridgeline Energy says despite the constant delaying of decisions, they remain hopeful and still plan to break ground by 2009.

The Planning and Zoning Committee will put their heads together once again on July 9th at 7:00 p.m. to discuss this project.

It will be a public hearing setting, and they'll decide if Kohler can participate in another vote.

The Wolverine Canyon project hopes to bring about 150 wind turbines to the area on more than 20,000 acres.
