Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor,
I am writing in reference to this week’s cover story regarding Cape’s Dam, and I am yet again disgusted by the promotion of misinformation wielded by the power of the press on this pivotal environmental issue. The attempted defamation of Councilmember Derrick was egregious, unwarranted, downright petty and wrong. To be clear: Melissa Derrick is one of the only river warriors we have represented on the San Marcos City Council, and she absolutely supports science. Real science. Not “science.” There’s a huge actually statistically significant difference.
Leave out the science.
That’s what one San Marcos City Councilmember suggested when discussing the Cape s Dam Complex. During the recent city council meeting Tuesday, councilmember Melissa Derrick said during the approval of an interlocal agreement and a Memorandum of Understanding between the City of San Marcos and Hays County to leave the science out of the discussion. I would like to strike one of the whereas. Where it says, whereas the scientific community has also pointed out that the flow rate and the main channel of the San Marcos River in the Mill Race are important factors to consider in the protection of river wildlife, etc. That is not the science for which a lot of scientists believe, Derrick said. I think that we need to leave the science out of this.
