I would feel EXACTLY the same way if Paradise Lake was south of 466 or in my back yard.

Your problem is not with me and my opinion .... it is with the ACC, it's position on this issue and it would appear your own neighbors. I will admit I am not sure of the nature of serving on the ACC but if they are elected positions, I suggest you work to having member elected that are aligned with your position on Paradise Lake. Further, If you think that the will of the people has changed, as the previously rejected an offer by "the developer" to do the work on their nickle, then you need to mount a grassroots campaign to show that they now support this project.
* glad to see that you don't think that you have a problem with the historic side.

* because the lake has always suffered must it continue to suffer?

* how can you state that any cure would be very expensive when potential cures are not even known?

* my problem is with comments like yours [as well as with the acc] - it reinforces the acc budget comm decision/opinion and fails to encourage a new review of the issue.

* obviously, the will of SOME folks has changed - you can see in the mtg mins that representative ms wilcox was shot down for trying to have the issue given a new looksee and one can see in mr. lester's post here that he is obviously frustrated, too; the comm accepted but apparently was not interested in a petition he presented of those so concerned. and then there is me! you can bet that when i return next snowbird season i WILL start tearin' up the grass by its roots to find folks who are just as concerned - and i'll start with that petition that mr lester presented to the comm! it will be great exercise to go door-to-door throughout the historic side!
