I heard from Lynn Edwards of Save Our Cedar Bayou today. Everyone wants to know what the Army Corps of Engineers has decided.
She sent me the letter below that was submitted by Texas Parks and Wildlife that opposes the dredging permit. All other state and federal agencies filed similar, very similar, letters in opposition. She is not sure what is driving this. Anyone who fishes the Mesquite Bay and Aransas Bay area knows the fishing has been dismal since the passes have been closed.
Lynn met with the Aransas County Commissioners and all are in support of the permit to dredge. She has answered all the questions raised by the objectors. They may be just stalling. She plans to meet with state officials including the governor very soon. She has the support of Sen. Hager and Rep. Todd Hunter. She asks that Texans contact their senators and representatives to garner their support since this seems to be a political rather than an environmental issue.
