I have watched a deterioration of our rivers, bays, forests, and wetlands over many decades. It has saddened me that we let the greed of people trying to make money trump the rights of all citizens to enjoy the bounty of nature. The bay and its entire watershed are in danger of irreversible damage and yet we still have developers and business interests willing to sacrifice our environment for a few dollars.
We have all witnessed the greed of the past few years put our entire financial system in danger and cause millions of people to lose their jobs and homes. It's time to put the general public first. Americans are fed up with business (I am a life long businessman by the way) putting money ahead of the public good.
I fully support the current efforts of the Potomac and Shenandoah riverkeepers in their call for improvements in the General Construction Permit process. It is critical that SWPPPs are made available to the public for every construction site in Virigia.
I would like to request that information be provided to me on the outcome related to this action and I will work to support those that vote for improvements in the General Construction Permit process and to defeat those that don't.
Thanks.
