Stop the Lake Erie Coastline Giveaway!
Birdwatchers, boaters, fishermen and nature lovers, beware! If some private
property owners get their way, you may no longer be able to recreate along
most of the Lake Erie shore and its coastal waters. That's because these
privileged few want the shore all to themselves.and the Ohio House of
Representatives is about to give it to them!
Hearings are already underway in the Ohio House of Representatives in
Columbus on legislation to strip control over the Lake Erie shoreline away
from the State of Ohio and deliver it to private property owners. In harm's
way are hundreds of miles of shoreline and thousands of acres of coastal
wetlands and submerged lake lands that the State holds in trust for the
people of Ohio.
UPDATE: The Ohio House has passed HB-218 and the Ohio Senate is now holding
hearings. The next hearing is March 10th at the statehouse. PLEASE PLAN TO
ATTEND THIS IMPORTANT HEARING!
