This will have wide ranging implications for the bay, hopefully for
the better.


I was wondering why they waited so long to take any action...


It will cost money to change current practices and the agricultural
businesses in and around the Chesapeake *tributaries wield an enormous
amount of political power.


Yeah, I can understand that....


So...*some* political discussions are OK, eh, such as a discussion about
agribusiness? Or is it corporate pollution?


This is not really a political posting if you ever put your boat in
the water. Boaters should be interested in the water they boat in,
particularly if they fish or swim.


Just about anything having to do with pollution abatement is political, tim.


I think you're actually addressing Greg, harry.
