HAPPENING NOW

Things are heating up. We've updated the Save Our Lakes Now website (www.saveourlakesnow.org) to reflect where we are now in trying to get the mess with lake levels straightened out. On that site there is a breaking news link that will let everyone know what is going on right now. If you haven't already, be sure to go to that site and sign the petition and get familiar with the site. It wil become more and more important as we work to get our recommended change to the drought plan implemented.

So far as the Corps is concerned they are blindly following the old plan and refusing to go to 3600cfs at this time. We understand that they do not plan to return to 3600cfs unti the lake drops to 324' (1.5ft lower than the level today). Please call your congressman and Col Kertis of the Corps and ask them "why not go to 3600cfs now". If enough people do this we can hopefully get the Corps to stop holding off on this change.

We now have the ear of WJBF Channel 6 and they plan a 30 minute program discussing this whole issue. Save Our Lakes Now has been invited to express their side of the argument and Col Kertis of the Corps and his superior officer have been invited to attend as well.
