OMg! we’re getting slaughtered

Todd: Hi Jacqui, looks like it’s “balls to the wall” —like the old jet fighter saying.

Shame on those that have allowed this to happen! Shame on those that side with corporations instead of protecting the environment and the health of the people I the community. We have lost business during periods of Toxic Blue Alga which is capable of causing ALS, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Where is the accountability for what has happened? Why are Corporations are allowed to poison our waters;
