Anybody Else Notice This?
RECEIVED Mon., Feb. 21, 2005
Dear Editor,
Politically, I worry that the controversy on recalling Will Wynn is really only a diversion. In all the reporting on toll roads, has anyone thought of the effect of having few toll road exits will have on smaller businesses? It all seems to play so well to the big-box businesses who can afford the high-priced land at the toll exits. What happens to the local nursery with the locally adapted plants, the nonchain car wash, the driving range? It seems like habitat destruction to me. Anybody else notice this?
