The Franklin County Commission decided on Monday to appeal a judge's ruling that the county had no grounds to deny permits for the project. I have to agree with the County Commission. The reason I do is all the pesticides. I think it would be detrimental to our bay. We're not against change, but we are against any change that would be detrimental.
Franklin County is beautiful for what it already has to offer.
We have enough natural disasters without anything else affecting the bay. I like to play golf and would like to see a golf course, but not there. If they want a golf course, put it somewhere where it's not going to be a threat. I hate to say anything negative about the golf course because the Island has been very good to me and for business. I've heard the County Commission and those involved say the benefits don't outweigh the risks.
