Tell it like it is from Gardiner

It is about time for enviromental organizations, Communities and the State to walk the walk instead of just talking the talk. They like to blame shoreowners for the millions and millions of tons of effluent running into our lakes because it make them a nice "smoke sceen" to cover up for industrial, state and municipal damage done to our lakes, rivers and streams.

These "enviro-mental" groups need to take a good look at the destruction of our resources that they cause...Like the horrendous erosion of the shores of our lakes caused by trying to fill these ponds to the brim for the pleasure of the few. Mother nature did not create these ponds for the use of cigarette boats, to keep marina operators happy. This exploitation of our resources by enviromental groups causes severe erosion, loss of wildlife habitat, wetland destruction.

We are glad to see that one of these groups is finally concerned about their tons of runoff and what they have done might help. Now they need to take a look at what they have done to the natural beaches at Sebago and take a very L O N G hard look!
