MINING REGULATIONS PASSED!

The springs in Levy, County, Florida, are now protected by the new mining regulations that the County Commissioners passed tonight by a vote of 4 - 1.  The one vote against the mining regulations was by Commissioner Foley who worked for White Construction Company for many years.  A spokesman for White Construction promised that if the mining regulations were passed they would sue the county.  The county attorney advised the commissioners the regulations were defensible.  We may be facing a lawsuit but as of now the SPRINGS OF LEVY COUNTY  are protected.

We are so thankful for all the support, the phone calls, emails and faxes and financial contributions.   It made all the difference and those of you who showed up helped the commissioners do the right thing.  This proved to  me that community action can work.

Thanks again and please come visit Manatee State Park!!
