Plans for Gas Pipeline To Come Through This Area

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has released its Environmental Impact Study and basically said the Sabal Trail Pipeline will have no significant negative impact on the land, the people, the river, the springs, the wild creatures that live in its path.

Indeed, they admit there will be some impact, but they say that if they don’t build the pipeline, then the fracked liquid natural gas will not arrive at its destination in South Florida.  So it seems the pipe will go across the land and under the rivers and through the springs heartland.

Some of the Questions I have:

Why are they holding this meeting in Lake City instead of in Suwannee County where the impact will be the greatest?

Why does it take 2,000 pages to explain to us that the pipeline will have "no significant negative impact" on the land, people, rivers, springs, etc.?

Do the people who own Sabal Trail have any "skin in the game" when it comes to this area and protecting our springs and rivers?

There will be a meeting on Thursday Oct. 1, 6-8 pm  at the:

Columbia High School Auditorium
469 SE Fighting Tiger Drive
Lake City, FL 32025

Please come out if you can and hear what they have to say about this issue!  There is a comment period until October 26th.  For more information, please email info@northcentralflorida92project.com

The North Central Florida Tea Party will meet at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 8, 2015 at the Jackie Taylor Building.

Richard Heston will be speaking to us on the “Hidden History of our Founding Fathers”.  This follows last month’s great lesson on the Declaration of Independence and Constitution. The more we learn the more we are able to combat the assaults on our Constitution and liberties.  Lane Watkins will give a short presentation on Twitter; how we can use it to help get the word out. We will have a straw poll on the Republican Presidential candidates.  Conservative groups in Florida are working together to make sure we have a good conservative candidate to vote for in the March primary.  Pick up copies of the last editions of the American Patriot News and information on upcoming meetings. This is a great way to meet other like-minded people, get involved and help make a difference in all levels of government!  Come find out what the tea party does and find out how you can help!
