• There is another attempt to expand the Concord Marina (announced after a meeting by TVA, which I didn’t know about since it was posted in the paper, plus I’m the caretaker of my wife and hurting for time) and to spend or allow a corporation to spend $1 million on the backside of Melton Hill Park in Anderson County for more improvements.

Why all this commercialization of our parks? I still rescue animals in Concord, but also people who try to go out the wrong way.

Any expansion is going to cost lives, which parties that might be (inhumane) don’t care. I don’t like the sellout.
