[LookOutSugarLake] Fwd: Sewage disposal endangers wildlife

[Catherine Hansen]

Hi Tammy and anyone else who might attend Colin Mayes today ~
I'm hoping to make it there today, but am having some health issues  
which might prevent me from attending....
if I don't make it, can someone please make sure to ask Colin Mayes  
what he is doing about Sugar Lake, for the sake of the Salmon, the  
environment and the people's drinking water...
he cannot say he doesn't know about this.... here is a copy of my  
latest email to him...
and his government does cover some of the aspects of water in our  
country!!!!!
Why have politicians who continually say it isn't their department or  
government.............
Thanks all ~~~~
Cathy Hansen
Our Lakes are nobodies toilets!!!!
