Re: “Walters: A Grand Coalition on Water Quality?”
Ive been working to support solutions to this problem for years. Its way past time that everyone wakes up to this issue. It affects us all.
If the main point source contributors are not changed, principally agricultural runoff , sewage treatment plant overflows, then any tax surcharge will be assessed forever. The cleanup will never catch up with the ongoing sources. Even if all Point source polluters were stopped tomorrow, there is enough legacy phosphorus in the sediments to support algae blooms for decades.
Tax me and I will support it but only if Point source polluters are regulated .

Re: “It's 2018 Time: Who Might Challenge Gov. Scott?”
Phil Scott is clearly a nice guy. That doesn't make him a leader. James Ehlers is a leader that builds consensus from the ground up. He doesn't forget the basics, starts there and then with skillful bridge building grows ideas into policies that serve everyone.. Everyone that doesn't profit from hurting others that is.

Re: “Water Warrior: James Ehlers Is Lake Champlain's Loudest and Most Divisive Advocate”
As a person who loves to sail, fish and swim in our beautiful Lake Champlain, I know of no other individual or organization that has the pure health of the lake at heart more than James Ehlers.
I became a corporate sponsor last year lamenting the decline of the waters quality. It struck me then that this wasn't enough and joined the LCI board and have been in a continual state of amazement as to the obstacles in the way of simply having clean water.
Powerful interests amazingly at odds with clean water, stand staunchly in the way of a swimmable, drinkable and fishable Lake Champlain. As a board member and advocate for these simple requirements, I ask that anyone who can support James and the LCI mission do so right now. Donations of any kind will help, be they financial, personal time or a product for our upcoming Friends of Lake Champlain Dinner and raffle.
Keep up the good fight James. All who want real change this year are right behind you!

Re: “Obituary: Nancy Cathcart, 1950-2018”
So sad to hear of Nancys passing. I knew her through HSCC. She was a beautiful person. I will miss her.
