Rather, the issue presented in the context of this blog concerns water quality in general, and in the Salt Fork in particular. Questions exist about how much water might be removed from the Salt Fork, how much and with what quality water would be returned to the Salt Fork (and possibly elsewhere), and what the potential environmental impact of those actions might be. Posts like this are simply looking for answers to these questions (if they exist) and raising issues for discussion.Lexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01543069506826044678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8804271503729146810.post-5161100503778531002012-05-05T15:48:59.985-05:002012-05-05T15:48:59.985-05:00I don't know the specifics of the water plans ...I don't know the specifics of the water plans but in regard to how much the village is benefiting, that will be a matter of public record. <br /><br /> If anyone is concerned or has questions they should attend Village Board meetings. Board meetings are open to the public and are generally held the second Monday of each month at 7pm at the Homer Village Hall. <br /><br />Christine Cunningham <br />(and in the spirit of full-disclosure, my husband is a Village Board member)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8804271503729146810.post-37659820851285812272012-05-05T12:43:32.522-05:002012-05-05T12:43:32.522-05:00Any way to find out how much the city of Homer is ...Any way to find out how much the city of Homer is benefiting from the partnership with the coal company ($) ?<br /><br />Seems rather disrespectful on many levels for Homer to sell out one of it's prime ways of attracting people to it's town, or maybe that's deliberate. If they can make $ without having to actually do business, maybe that seems like a better way to go. Except that they will be shitting where they (and a lot of others) sleep.<br /><br />Thanks for posting this and please keep us informed. LR BraddockAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
