Water is our most precious resource
Roger Sherman | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 10 years, 8 months AGO
I am a Whitefish resident and I am in support of the great opportunity we have to secure our most precious resource, water.
I have lived and worked in three other countries where pure uncontaminated water is a huge issue. Our availability of fresh, clean water is something many people take for granted. We all think of water as a never ending resource and do not give it a thought as we drink, wash dishes and bathe.
Raising our existing resort tax another 1 percent, in my opinion is a bargain and secures our future.
