STILL NEED YOUR HELP ON SEPTIC TANKS

Here is some info on the septic tanks, two different letters..... Dave

To all our HOA’s, e-mail friends and neighbors:

Please pass along an important message that reached me from a very involved Orange County resident. The original e-mail has been cropped to afford privacy to the sender/receiver. The body of the message is extremely important and should be responded to. Please e-mail or call Senator Gardiner (gardiner.andy.web@flsenate.gov) and Senator Baker (baker.carey.web@flsenate.gov) urging them to support our opposition to the DOH Rule and ask them to sponsor legislation to stop the rule from being implemented. Phone numbers are listed below. I attended this meeting in Tallahassee and can verify that this information on what transpired between the DOH and the House Representatives is accurate. If you feel so moved, you can send an e-mail to Senator Constantine (Constantine.lee.web@flsenate.gov) or phone him as well expressing your firm opposition to his unconscionable power plays in the Senate and House of Representatives. Contact me via e-mail if you have any questions.

I am told over and over by legislators that these contacts from you mean everything, and overwhelming contact can turn the tide. Thanks for your immediate action on this.

Dear ********,

Monday evening we had a neighborhood meeting and Mr. Brummer spoke to us. Here is the latest he could give us on the Septic thing. He attended several meetings last week, and on Friday he was at one with the DOH, EPA and some legislators. It boils down to the DOH stated that “the ONLY THING that would keep them from implementing the proposed rule was for the Florida Legislature to pass legislation to stop them.”

So now, because time is of the essence, we are trying to get everyone we know to call Senator Gardner and ask him to support legislation to STOP the DOH from implementing the Proposed Rule for the Wekiva Study Area. The house isn’t the problem, he said, and Senator Gardner is on our side but he needs our calls because Senator Constantine is such strong influence and a “bully” that Gardner needs to know he has our support. Senator Baker (Lake County) is on the side of the DOH, so we should call him also and ask him to do the same thing, hoping we might change his mind if he gets enough calls.

Senator Gardner’s # (407) 428-5800 Senator Baker’s # (352) 742-6490

With the legislature session ending May 1, we don’t have much time. Hope you can help
