Hi Everybody, here is a note that I got from Andrea, she is doing a great job on the Septic Tank issue...... Dave
Dear Neighbors,
Next Monday, the Orange County Legislative Delegation will meet at the Orange County Building on Rosalind, downtown. This meeting is held every year as legislators prepare for the upcoming legislative session that convenes after the first of the year. This is where they hear the concerns of the people they represent. I have made arrangements to be on the speakers’ list. I have exactly three minutes to represent the concerns of our neighborhood and growing coalition of homeowners. I can also prepare a hand-out for them to take with them.
Remember that Senator Constantine will re-introduce a new bill, a new SB 274 that was defeated last spring. Also the Department of Health, Bureau of On-site Sewage is simply waiting in the wings for the study to be completed on new technologies, but they have not yet rescinded their rule-making, only delayed it.
So that I accurately represent your concerns to them, will you please take a few moments and send to me a short explanation or list of the two or three most important concerns you have and what you want the legislature to do about this whole issue. As always, I firmly believe a communication of this sort should contain factual statements of real consequences this issue has caused us and a “call to action,” and not just gripes.
Needless to say, it will be a busy weekend for me to pull all this together, but it’s well worth the effort. Senator Constantine and friends need to know we have not gone away and will not go away. If you want to respond to this, please make sure I have your BRIEF summary by Friday, so I have time to prepare the hand-out and gel down the substance of what you have to say. Thanks!
Andrea
