10/16/08-The city is turning a blind eye to its constituency, as they feel the people do not choose correctly on important issues.

We have to assume they felt the same  about us on election days past that empowered them.

  We are counting the days till our vote will
once again choose the correct direction  for our city, as it appears our vote does not matter to the elected that hold the power today.

First objective

The arm corps of Engineers has the sole authority to permit the destruction or preservation of our wetlands nation wide as per Section 404. To date Florida has lost the most acreage cover -- 9.3 million acres. Our committee has formally requested a public hearing regarding the Army Corps of Engineers public notice saj-2008-661. We need your help in contacting them and writing as many letters as possible to bring to their attention our desire  not to destroy the last south Coconut Creeks wetland.

FAILED^ The army Corp of E. Couldn't care less and refused us a hearing. They took every word of the Developer over all others.

ENDANGERED SPECIES: Wood stork (Mycteria Americana). Wood storks have been on the endangered species list since 1984. These very graceful creatures nest in colonies near cypress trees and mangrove swamps over water. They are seen on a regular basis in our area and will vanish though the propose mitigations by the Developer (Regency).

THREATENED SPECIES: Eastern Indigo Snake (Drymarchon Corais). The eastern indigo snake has been classified as a threatened species by the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission (GFC) and by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The main reason for its decline is habitat loss. Indigos need relatively large areas of undeveloped land. As their habitats become fragmented, indigos will be increasingly vulnerable to highway mortality as they attempt to travel through their territories. They have been identified in our wetlands.
