This is a response to Senator Gary Schroeder's recent effort to allow
sewage to continue to flow into the waters of our lakes and rivers.
As a former resident of Harrison on Lake Coeur d' Alene, I take serious
umbrage with Gary Schroeder's initiative to allow "cabins" on the lake,
and for that matter, residences anywhere in our state, to continue
discharging sewage into the lake and/or waterways of Idaho. I have seen
the discharge pipes running into the lake fouling our waters, all for
the summer pleasure of those wealthy enough to afford second houses.
Senator Schroeder shows his bias for the privileged class with this
action.
Many groups around the world work to provide education in the third
world about keeping sewage out of drinking water. This is an effort to
stem cholera outbreaks and the spread of other diseases. Now here, in
what can be described as some of the most concentrated displays of
wealth in the region, we cannot get people who have the funds to
remodel, or put on additions to second homes, to upgrade their sewage
systems.
Remember while your sewage flows downstream and out of your concern,
those upstream are doing the same. Yuck Senator Schroeder, SR 114 reeks
of special interest sewage.
