Subject: Re: Cell tower epilepsy risk?? (MacNeill)..
I moved into my home 6 mos ago & found out shortly thereafter that the
neighborhood was fighting the application for a celltower up the block -
they won - now they want to put it next door to me - and we're fighting
again - someone neglected to mention that there was this issue when we were
looking to buy the house - now what happens if we lose? Do I have to repack
& move - or do I stay & possibly get myslef & family sick? I hope someone
with some clout takes some responsibility for this & sets up some sort of
regulation in the state of CT - not to mention the property value going down
on the house. Good work youre doing - I hope someones listening.

>My wife and daughter have recently (9mos. ago) moved to a new town,

>What started my interest in researching cell towers was the fact one was
