Dr Fishaut’s mysteriously uninformed letter demands a response. Whaaat Dr Fishaut? The Zylstra Lake Trail is the hoped-for baby of our County Manager who, also hopefully, will be soon on his way to other pastures to impact. The Conservation Land Bank did not promote or pursue the Zylstra Lake Trail Project. Please check your facts before proselytizing, especially about issues heartfelt in our small community. As such, your accusations of bulldozing, condescension, and elitism belong squarely with the County Manager and not the Conservation Land Bank Director, who, with Land Bank Commission, knew better than to align with the strategy of this unpopular project. This was County Manager’s baby and was never authorized or pursued by the Land Bank Commission.
