Madison, FL BOCC tonight: WWALS on agenda about Sabal Trail 2016-06-22
Sabal Trail would go far too close to Madison Blue Spring and water wells in Madison County, it doesn’t have all permits, and the Madison BOCC could help stop this unnecessary, destructive, and hazardous fracked methane pipeline boondoggle. I have five minutes to say all that tonight to the Madison Board of County Commissioners.

Many thanks to Southwings and pilot Roy Zimmer for the ride on Roy’s Rollercoaster. The wind did pick up a bit towards mid-day but that only made it more fun.

Update 2016-06-24: report and video of the meeting.
A chemical plant on E. Hill Ave. in Valdosta wants to stop monitoring chemicals
