43 <br /> The Orange County officials have a difficult decision to make. Your support will be invaluable in <br /> helping the planning department and the commissioners to make an obvious and wise decision. <br /> It seems obvious that environmental degradation in the form of stormwater runoff pollution <br /> "adversely impacts aquatic ecosystems, poses human health risks, and can greatly increase the <br /> cost of treating our drinking water". This zoning change to allow greater industrial development <br /> on the assumption that it might generate additional tax dollars sounds like a poor risk and a big <br /> mistake <br /> I close with a direct quote from the Orange County website: <br /> A statement of"Environmental Responsibility in County Government" was adopted as an <br /> Orange County Goal, December 5, 2005. The goal statement reads as follows: "Perform all <br /> County governmental functions, both internal and external, with a sensitivity and ethic that <br /> promotes environmental responsibility and leadership, and an understanding of the actions of <br /> government activities as they affect the natural and cultural resources of the County, region, <br /> state, nation and world." <br /> Thank you for your concern, your consideration, and your help. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Charles P.
