Dear Philip,

This spring I volunteered for the annual fish count in the Buckeye Brook Alliance for Bill Aldrich. On 8 separate occasions I went to the Warwick Avenue location just south of Docksider to count the herring and menhaden and take temperature and height measurements of the brook. My friend Bob did it 4 or 5 times too. He counted one small fish in total and I, sadly didn't see any. Eight visits... no fish. You ask "What price do we pay for progress?" "No fish" is the real price. From the Airport Expansion People got air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution and no fish. We lost the tax revenue of over 100 houses taken by the Airport, losing millions of real estate tax dollars, ...forever. That means higher taxes from the rest of us,... forever! That price Philip, is way too high.

I'll see you on the 19th.

Here's hoping that the other 80,000 taxpayers are there too! They're paying the same price!

Regards,

Richard Corrente
