How Many Times Have Bunch and SOSA Saved the Springs?
RECEIVED Thu., May 11, 2006
Dear Editor,
Just one question for Bill Bunch and the SOSA. Since, according to you and your group, every time someone paves a driveway or builds a house, Barton Springs is destroyed, how many times have you and your group saved Barton Springs? It's so fragile, I imagine it's been brought back from the brink of destruction dozens of times because since I've been here in Austin, according to SOS, Barton Springs has been destroyed at least a dozen times. Pave this road, it will destroy Barton Springs. Build an office complex, and Barton Springs is destroyed. Yadda yadda. You know Bill, people get tired of others who do nothing but scream about constant, impending disaster when it never materializes. Edwards Aquifer has millions if not billions of square feet of homes, roads, offices on it, and I swear, Barton Springs hasn't been destroyed yet. But to listen to SOS, there's fixin' to be an oil slick on it if one more building or road is built. Did MoPac destroy Barton Springs? Nope. Barton Creek Mall destroy it? Nope. The railroad? Nope. Did Rollingwood destroy it? Nope. Wonder why not – all are on "our most fragile treasure, the heart of Austin,” Barton Springs. And as we know, anything will "destroy Barton Springs,” just ask SOS. Thank you for your time and consideration.
