Letters

 I read your article regarding my motion to appoint someone from my district to the Planning Commission and your editorial titled “Our View” regarding non-agenda items and I would like to set the record straight.

Chad Hanson’s recent letter to the editor mischaracterized emerging plans to improve the Fenholloway River in Taylor County and nearby Gulf waters.

I wanted to write and tell everyone how very proud I am of Cedar Key!
I grew up in Cedar Key, so I know the people to be kind and caring. But living in a big city, you almost forget how good people can be and how living in a small city has its advantages.
    I am the proud parent of a Navy Seabee, Ryne S Goode, who was currently deployed during the 4th of July. Imagine my surprise when I found out that, upon entering Cedar Key, there were American flags with our current military men and women displayed on each flag!

With all the threats recently to the environment coming from all angles, one that is largely under the radar is the imminent decision to allow the Buckeye Pulp Mill in Perry to pipe its nasty effluent (i.e., industrial wastewater) to the mouth of the Fenholloway River smack dab in Apalachee Bay of Florida’s Big Bend.
