LETTER: Stop the injustice and take action! (with LINKS)

This is an open letter to county and city officials.

I have been an owner of a condominium at Inlet Reef on Holiday Isle for over 20 years. In that time I have seen massive changes in our beautiful beach.

I have recently followed the absolute mockery of injustice perpetrated on the homeowners of Holiday Isle with regards to this lawsuit and the inevitable results.

All you guys have to do is drive down to Jetty East and look at what the homeowners have left. We have a VERY narrow window of time to salvage any beach at all. 

You guys are elected to help serve the interests of the people of your county.

No rational, level-headed, intelligent person would look at this opportunity to preserve home and tax values and turn their back on the several hundred homeowners. We have almost NO rental market left because renters refuse to come to the beachfront condominiums and rent when there is NO beach.

I urge you guys to take action and support an effort to get some immediate relief for the replenishment of our beach.
