INDIAN RIVER RALLY: NETTLES ISLAND COMMUNITY

from John Debus

INDIAN RIVER RALLY
PRESENTED BY NETTLES ISLAND COMMUNITY ACTION ASSOCIATION
6:30pm Social Hour,  7:00pm Meeting on Tuesday, October, 8, 2013, at the
Rec. Hall Café
Guest Speakers:
Our own Sheriff’s Deputy on patrol may stop in with updates on activities in
our area; also in St. Lucie County, Commissioner, Chris Dzadovsky;
Indian River Keeper, Marty Baum; St. Lucie County Mosquito Control Director, James David, with a short-term solution for our River. Also, we have invited a representative from Dept. of Environmental Protection. We need to push for the House Bill 3080 (Water Resource and Development Act) to be voted on. 

A Congressional Briefing meeting was held in Washington, DC, co-chaired by Congressmen Murphy from our district and Radel from Ft. Myers with 22 other members of Congress from both parties in attendance. Also, Senator Nelson was there and suggested to keep House Members feet to the fire to pass this important Bill.  The Senate has already passed the
Bill with 83-14 votes.
