Concern for the West Credit River

Apparently it’s been nearly two years since my last post – yet, while so much has changed in that time, there really hasn’t been much to write about.

This is not a new subject, but it is one that is continuing to gain traction and importance. Before attempting to give my own opinion, I highly suggest you check out the Coalition for the West Credit River.
