We will pay the costs

What do you think will come out of this latest special counsel ado? l believe history again will be repeated, which is that a few political points will be scored, many lawyers made richer, some media getting more viewers, and much time wasted in addressing the real problems of our great country.

Meanwhile, the taxpayer will again pay the cost in lost time, treasure and talent. It is not now nor has it ever been about right or wrong, but about winning or losing.

That is why many of us have so little respect for those that are representing us.

It is a sad day for all that this is allowed to continue. Guess we lack common sense and are too greedy to care. Have ours and/or on the take and willing to mortgage the future of the following generations.

We too are for sale.

Cabot trade as well as fish and wildlife. Now I read that C&H owners applied to create a new, even larger factory farm of 10,000-plus hogs near tributaries of the Arkansas River and the town of Altus in the heart of Arkansas wine country, another major tourist attraction.

An owner of C&H approached me at the meeting and tried to convince me that the algae bloom is due to tourist activity and sunscreen application; I had to laugh. Scientists have been saying for years that the Buffalo River valley’s highly permeable karst geology is absolutely the wrong place for factory farming and the application of millions of gallons of hog feces on the land. Please, please write and phone the governor, your representatives, the Department of Environmental Quality, and the pollution control commission to demand that they uphold the C&H permit denial (a new comment period is now being opened) and deny any future permit for another horrific factory farm.
