Number one concern and worry is Drinking Water and number two is wastewater. Everything else is a distant third. If theres a problem with the Drinking Water it has to be addressed immediately. Middle of the night, middle of the winter, it doesnt matter when.

[ technical difficulties ] seven years ago kevin lunny bought the floundering farm here and turned it into a 1. 5 Million Dollar annual business, but some environmentalists say he has outstayed his welcome and it is time for the farm to stop production. But it is fundamentally incompatible with a National Park wilderness area to have a commercial, private oyster operation. It just doesnt fit. Lunny insists he is a responsible steward of the land and exemplifies sustainability. Lunny says if the Lower Court Ruling against him stands, the community may gain a quiet estuary, but some of their cultural history will be lost. Start with one issue education. Gun control.
