Brian, I am looking forward to the meeting on Sat. I was just looking at the Gazette letter from Roger Martin.

His 2 questions in the second paragraph have already been answered by the lake model the District has completed. If complaints about the water level existed for as long as he states in his letter I think it is about time the level was raised to the correct height.

Boating does improve when water levels are higher. Boats float they need water, also fish and plants. Wetlands also need water or they are not a wetland.

Who projected the costs at $380,000.00 for legal fees? Are those Buck dollars?

In my neighborhood we had the shoreline of our wetland protected and each spent $3000.00 per lot. None of us looked for any state grants.

You also answered his statement about the water levels south of the dam.

The District is spending our money for a proposal that has been fully studied by professional people. The District is spending our money on a proposal that the people of the District have voted in favor of at several annual meetings.

I do not want to talk about what may or could happen. We have facts to know what will happen and those facts need to be presented at the hearing so we all can move on to other issues. We have come a long way. It would be foolish to walk away from the hearing now and throw away the ONLY data that has been collected pertaining to our lake.

We spent our money for facts. Now is the time for action, not walking away.
