"Lead Me, Follow Me, or Get Out of My Way"

General George S. Patton

We received a letter from WLIC, dated April 5, 2016, "Your LOMA Determination Document".  This is the final product of the time and effort by the WLIC Board and others to fight, mitigate and resolve the potentially disastrous determination of the flood plain at Weatherby Lake.  The letterhead of the document says, "Together, we make a difference".  What an understatement.  This isn't something that just impacts lake front property, in my opinion.  Anything that potentially impacts the value of lake front property impacts the entire community.  Why this happened in the first place is a different post, another time.

As much as I would like to move forward, one observation.  Mayor Botbyl, in his campaign material, mentioned the City was "monitoring" the situation.  That resulted in nothing.  Period.  They knew of the problem for months, did not advise citizens of anything.  WLIC on the other hand, took a leadership role, and TCB...took care of business.  We should be very grateful.

So thank you Rick and the Board of the WLIC.  Thanks to Don and others (I am sure there are) who gave an assist.
