JAMES MADISON QUOTE - 1822

"A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives."

Jackson County Commission, Roseberry Rescue Group Request - Invasive Water Weeds, April 24,2018

Is this what you want, an unmanageable waterway?

Milfoil, Hydrilla - invasive water weeds in Guntersville Lake impeding navigation and recreation activities. These invasive species, if not abated, will result in a loss of revenue for areas like Jackson County Park in Scottsboro, Alabama. Thus far the Jackson County Commission has refused to contribute to the abatement plan in the past 6 years, although they are the only revenue producing entity on Roseberry Creek. The Commission has approved expansion of the County Park area docks, camp grounds and cabins amounting to millions of dollars in expansion expense. (photo by TVA)
