Let's Give Thanks

On this rather overcast Thanksgiving, after an election where many of the staunchest allies in our fight to protect our quality of life were defeated locally, it could be easy to become folorn about the future of our beloved community. That's precisely why we should give thanks not only for having the ability to exercise our right to vote, but also the means to take the defense of our natural heritage to the courtroom, the Council Chambers, and the court of public opinion. We should be thankful that we have the critical mass of smart, resourceful people in our community to do what it takes to defend it from those seeking to debase it for their own profit. I thank those of you who have enlisted yourselves in this fight. You know who you are.
