I realize that a lot of people are working hard on behalf of The Bay. At the same time I really detest these "good news" headlines about things are looking rosy. They're not.
Yesterday my grandson and.I were fishing in a rowboat on Rhode RIver. A commercial lawn company spent the better part of an hour putting unneeded fertilizer on a.large lot that sloped steeply and directly into the river. The homeowner's car has Save The Bay tags. We need to connect the dots here, people.
The home across the street from me was recently bulldozed and replaced with a 4,700 square foot monstrosity. Trees removed. Asphalt driveway paved and expanded. All in the "critical area".
A dead zone is a dead zone. "Dead" as in D.E.A.D. How's about we skip the feel good headlines and keep our eye on the ball?
Thank you!
