The route that crosses our land is unlikely to be chosen as final, but my wife and I cannot help but become engaged in the defense of our neighbors and friends... and our community. <br /><br />I will keep you posted.<br /><br />Doug<br />Doug Stowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13003845322415622289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34011427.post-23422115534645971782013-04-17T16:50:12.999-05:002013-04-17T16:50:12.999-05:00Doug, I have come to understand that our elected o...Doug, I have come to understand that our elected officials by and large do NOT have the best interests of their constituents at the top of their priority lists. We here in NC are fighting a proposal to add ferry toll fees to routes that are simply extensions of state highways, highways that our citizens regularly use to get to their place of employment across the river. The fact that Eureka Springs officials have been talking and negotiation about this without public input is nothing but tragic. I know it causes you probably to feel helpless, but there have to be those attorneys who are willing to take on this fight pro bono (frankly, the notion that an objection to such a plan must be filed through an attorney is questionable at best.) I wish you the very best in this fight. Do not give up... it is too important for you you and your neighbors and your wonderful environment...My thoughts are surely with you. Do keep us posted on the blog, as I'm sure you will.<br /><br />JDJDnoreply@blogger.com
