Advocates for Morgan Shoal created this response to the NEPA review held by the Army Corps. We will follow up with posting some of our friends' responses. To be included in this community commentary, send yours to [email protected]. Now that the undemocratic process of shorefront design and environmental review has ended, please know how grateful we are to everyone who spoke to power on behalf of our rocky beach!

C. Frietag published this article in the Chicago Tribune March 22nd.
