Title: EVERYONE PLEASE READ.THIS JUST IN.WE NEED ACTION: PICAYUNE
Post by: lswjth2 on March 25, 2006, 09:00:16 PM
Ok here we go. For some reason or another, the ARMY corps of engineers has deemed ANY HUMAN ACTIVITY INCOMPATIBLE IN THE PICAYUNE. I have not personally read the report, but i was e-mailed about it. Now for the good news, State Rep MIKE DAVIS, will be meeting with the head of Forestry Mike Long on Monday to discuss this. This is Unacceptable according to mike and im sure we all can agree. Mike will also be asking for a budget ammendmet of 38,000,000 to use that money to give back to the feds. If that happens, we should get Picayune back as it was before. PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE E-Mail governor Bush and ask him to have picayune kept open to all recreational users. WE are making progress, trust me. I had a meeting with the Assistant Collier county manager Late Friday and showed him the presentation i was going to use on 3/28 and he said" You make a very compelling case" " there's going to be a lot of answering to do on 4/11". Please keep the pressure on. We are on to something great here...Rick

here you go. I just got off the phone with Brian Mchannon. He's the vice president for the Florida Outdoor Alliance. He just got a reply from the Governor himself @ 9:00 on a Saturday night. They will be having the head of DEP reviewing the whole picayune issue. WE need to keep the pressure, we can and will win this if we band together....Rick
