I certainly dont disagree with TC as cash will always gain you some attention and it will absolutely take a combined effort. But, from a government perspective, we are dealing with mainly federal level entities. They dont give a rats rear end about local cash flow. If some marina, eatery, boat dealer etc. goes under, or if we tramp around all year in the mud it doesnt register on their radar screens. However, find a damn snail darter or some kind of rare mussel or a stagnant pool of water or a wet land that is drying up and they will be all over it. Plus you will get more help than you need OR WANT from the other so called "green" groups trying to justify their federal grants or their existance.

Get the environmental people on our side, especially in the current political environment, and eventually we will make some progress.

Two more cents worth
