What about Focus Group?

Ground-breaking for the federal detention center has already been scheduled and no input has been allowed by the citizens.

What happens to our precious, fragile, water aquifer when they drill a well big enough to support the 1,500 inmates and the supporting employees? It seems like our county commissioners are more interested in the money that will be coming in and not in the lives of the citizens they have sworn to oversee.

The thought of 1,700 people, washing their bodies, washing their clothes and drinking our water, is a huge concern. Why, that might not even leave enough water for the planned Focus Group communities.

I can't believe how fast people who travel Calvada Boulevard can throw out bottles, post garage sale signs near the fountain and rock down boxes with sale signs posted on them.

As you travel past the wonderful waterfall you continue to see things people have thrown out the window. -- beverage bottles half full, fast food bags, etc.

It really is sickening to see as so much time and effort went into the beautification of this section of town.

We need "don't litter" signs up and fines if people act like an ignoramus.
