It's my opinion that the vast majority of Fayetteville residents treasure their local environment. Fortunately people of Harton's mindset do not want to regulate our water supply so that folks would be allowed to dump raw sewage into the White River. After all Greg, if their property borders the River why shouldn't they do with it what they choose?
