Title: MARCH 28TH: SHOW UP OR LOSE IT FOR GOOD!!!! Post by: lswjth2 on March 15, 2006, 03:26:56 PM Folks on 3/28, Collier county commissioners will re-evaluate the contract between themselves and the SFWMD. This is the opportunity we have all been waiting for. This will take personal sacrifice,and you have to make a decision of what is really important, miss one day of work and NEVER ride again in the PICAYUNE or show up and be let back in. I honestly believe that if we have a good showing we will win this. It's your choice....
3301 east tamiami trail, bldg F, 3rd floor. Starts @ 9:00 am If you cannot make it, please call or write or phone or fax, but make yourself be heard....

We need to let them know that even though they are only Collier County Commissioners we are watching and appreciate the work they do for us since it affects more than just Collier residents. They are politicians and may want to further their carreer and I can promise you that if they get this contract rescinded I will remember that when they run for governor or some other position.

I agree. Jim Coletta -----Original Message----- From: Billy Golightly Sent: Friday, March 17, 2006 11:36 AM To: HalasFrank; ColettaJim; CoyleFred; fiala_d; henning_t Subject: Picayune Forest, Offroad vehicle use Dear Commissioners, I'm taking the time to write this letter to you today in regards to the Contract Collier county and the SFWMD made regarding a replacement area for off road vehicle use that was suppose to be completed in October of 2005. The SFWMD is in breach of this contract, there is no replacement area to recreate at. It is my opinion that the contract is therefore null and void. The property in question that was given to the SFWMD for restoration should be returned to its original purpose of Off-road vehicle use until the SFWMD has located, purchased, and completed all work necessary to accommodate off-road riders. The arsenic riddled sludge that was dredged from Imokkalee they are trying to pass off is not acceptable, even for "Rednecks and hillbillies" as we have been called, we are human beings also. Thank you for time. Billy Golightly Title: Re: MARCH 28TH: SHOW UP OR LOSE IT FOR GOOD!!!! Post by: lswjth2 on March 17, 2006, 01:33:25 PM thxs Billy. The riders from down here owe you one. Jim colletta was the only commissioner opposed to this whole thing from the beginning. I think we are making progress thanks to people like you...
