Hello all,
Please come speak for public water access budget money before the Anne Arundel County Council tomorrow 5/10/18 or Monday 5/14/18. Showing up and speaking up at these hearings is important. The county council members really pay attention and this year we get a two-fer - it's an election year and the wannabe council members will be in the audience.
Wear your PFD. Details below, please spread the word to other kindred spirits.
Thanks,
Lisa

Urgent: Anne Arundel County Budget Hearings Thurs 5/10/18 & Mon 5/14/18
Hello all, please come speak up for public water access funding at the Anne Arundel County Council budget hearings 7 to 9 pm Thursday 5/10/18 (Annapolis) and Monday 5/14/10 (Glen Burnie). Addresses at the end. You have two minutes to speak. There will be a sign up sheet at the entrance. Wear your PFD so we stand out in the audience.
Tell the county council that you support the water access budget. Tell them what opening the public waterfront parks has meant in *your* life - kayaking, fishing, standup paddleboarding, launching your trailered boat, birdwatching, taking your kids and grandkids to the water and maybe your dog too.
Suggested support points:
1) public boat ramps - the budget includes a new public boat ramp at Solley Cove Park
2) public swimming beaches - the county has hundreds of miles of shoreline and only one public county swimming beach. That's not enough.
3) more kayak and SUP launches
4) more fishing piers
5) we are all paying to clean up the Bay and we should all be able to get to the Bay
6) we all paid for the county's backlog of closed waterfront parks and it would take so little to open them all to the people who paid for them
7) 80% of county residents do not live in waterfront homes or water privileged communities. We all live here, all love the Bay and we should all be able to enjoy the Bay.
Showing up at these budget hearings is especially important because it's an election year. Four of the seven council members are term limited and council candidates will be in the audience. It's a two-fer you'll be talking to this year's council and the next year's council.
The best person to tell your water access story is you. Please come to the budget hearings and speak up for water access funding.
