Commissioners need to vote against zone change request

Dear county commissioners:

My residence is in the vicinity of the proposed zone change from rural/commercial to industrial by Frank Linscott and Interstate Concrete and Asphalt. Please vote against the proposed asphalt/concrete plant in Sagle. This area is one of the few that remains for affordable housing; and, industrial plants like this will degrade opportunity for growth there.

We all know that Mr. Linscott's operation has brought us noise, dust and a big hole in the ground that is a disgrace. It ranks right up there with mining pits like those seen in the Silver Valley, Butte and Anaconda, which industrialists have left for posterity.

If you really are serving on this commission to provide quality planning for Bonner County, I ask that you take a stand against projects like this one which clearly will degrade our quality of life. Please vote no.
