Glenda Burgess spoke during public comments at the July 16th County Commission meeting. She thanked the commission for voting against the mooring field. When she was at the proposed site with her grandchildren she was surprised by the number of people fishing, relaxing and just enjoying the area. She stated that for all the reasons the supporters of the proposed project believed an expensive government sponsored project would solve they were being addressed through existing government mechanism.

When Sheriff Snyder was made aware of the vagrancy and crime problem he sent law enforcement to handle those concerns. Glenda also stated that there was only one derelict boat remaining. The manatees and the sea grasses that call this place home were not destroyed nor displaced so that a few people could make money off the taxpayer.

One small victory for the majority that want government to be for all of us not just the few in the know.
