COMMENT ON 1/18 TO BALANCING THE BASIN HITS HOME

A COMMENT TO TODAYS BALANCING THE BASIN HITS HOME ON HOW THE CORPS IS HARMING THE ECONOMICS OF THE COMMUNITIES ALONG THE SAVANNAH RIVER BASIN.  THE COMMENT FOLLOWS:

The corps dedication to the harbor environment is admirable.  Their lack of concern for the economics of the impoverished communities along the lakes is not.  The horrible reputation of lake level control has stymied economic growth (real estate values, growth associated with highly attractive recreation areas and accompanying growth that occurs from both) for all communities adjacent to the lakes. Basically the Corps is destroying economics in a fashion similar to unrealistic regulations from the EPA. Hopefully we can get the attention of the Trump administration so they can help here the way they did with coal interests in West Virginia.

SOLN IS SEEKING A WAY TO GET AUDIENCE WITH CONGRESS OR THE PRESIDENT SINCE TRUMP IS FULLY BEHIND ELIMINATING UNNECCESSARY REGULATIONS.  IF YOU HAVE PERSONAL ACCESS TO ANY OF OUR CONGRESSMEN PLEASE GET IN TOUCH WITH JERRY CLONTZ VIA EMAIL bgclontz@gmail.com.  WE ARE LOOKING TO MEET WITH DAVID PERDUE AND ARE AWAITING RESPONSE FROM JODI HICE AND JEFF DUNCAN.  IN EACH CASE YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH THEIR STAFF WHO OFTEN TIMES ARE NOT IN SYMPATHY WITH OUR NEEDS.  WHAT IS NEEDED IS DIRECT CONTACT FROM SOMEONE THEY TRUST.
