Tomorrow about 15 of us will gather in Jim Thorpe with big signs that proclaim “Save the Lake.” We’ll stand along Route 209 and wave to drivers. A developer bought land along Mauch Chunk Lake that was zoned for preservation. The purchase price was very low, since the land could not be developed. Now the buyer is trying to get the Jim Thorpe Council to change the zoning to allow houses with septic systems at a thousand feet of the lake.
And the Council is considering it!
We’ve done this type of demonstration before. Linda organizes them. We’ve marched on behalf of the Indians at Standing Rock, on behalf of the Ukrainians, and against a fracking gas pipeline. There were others. If you wonder if they do any good, my answer would be probably more than sitting on your butt watching MSNBC.
