First off, many thanks to Dana Horne, moondog creative, for creating this amazing website!!! Now lets put it to good use! I am very worried that if we don’t stay organized and proactive then our quaint little hamlet is going to turn into a post hoc mining town. The very staunch individualism that defines many of the us Laporte residents and drew us here in the first place, may work against us, if we don’t band together over the ruinous, serious possibility of a gravel pit! It seems ludicrous that this could even be a possibility, it is so blatantly incompatible with our our wonderful, dog eared community. I would encourage all of us to start to relentlessly contacting the county commissioners and in no uncertain terms, let them know we vehemently oppose this gravel pit! I think the why may be less important then the many and volume of our opposition.
