Edit - I’m not sure what’s going on but I got below email at 2:59 pm today. I commented right after I read the email and voiced my support. Again.
I checked the link just now and the window for online comment closed at 5 pm today.
Strange as this is first email from her since this deal was brought to light as happening and 2 hrs notice to comment and have it heard?

original:
I know this has been cussed and discussed, but one more email can't hurt.

Save The Park

You realize that “Thursday, May 23” doesn’t exist…right? Thursday is the 25th.

That will probably be the states excuse…”oh, we got our dates mixed up, our “bad””.

Thanks for catching that Steez!

I thought it was already “saved”

There has never been a serious attempt to save it.

This is confusing, there’s another post with several pages about it being saved on here.

It’s atleast open till the 30th??

Is it a sign of how easy it is to catch fish on a small lake when all the fishermen within 200 miles of it are mad it's being closed?

It is, Rep Orr is saying its saved while Todd is saying the deal is closed.

Of those 2 options my money is on the politician lying.

if todd is moving dirt the deal is done now the political posturing. todd wouldnt be making improvements if the deal didnt go their way if you are going to make that kind of investment you wouldnt be letting the general public in with a 5 buck pass. with total control of the property they could do it like squaw creek an limit the number of folks an times they could go.

they were shredding brush in January, so it looks as if this thing may just be click bait by a local representative to try and save face on the park being "lost"

Exactly

It was just a politician trying to act like she did something. If the bill had passed, Todd interest would have needed the approval of two state agencies to change the Lake Fairfield permit from Industrial use to something else. It may have prevented the selling of water which is a long shot anyway.
