When we first read the Seventh Circuit’s opinion in Muscarello v. Winnebago County Bd., No. 11-2332 (7th Cir. Dec. 7, 2012), a case involving takings, due process, and other* challenges to a county zoning ordinance making it easier to build a wind farm, our first thought was “that case sounds familiar.”
It was. In this case, the same court ruled pretty much the same way, in a case about wind farms, against what appears to be the same plaintiff.
The recent opinion was covered in detail in Dean Patty Salkin’s Law of the Land blog here, so we won’t repeat it.

*the opinion referred to the suit as “a blunderbuss of federal and state claims”
