MY TURN: Vote with prairie, aquifer in mind
Lynn Fleming
Our area was settled years ago by miners, loggers, grass and livestock farmers and millwrights after centuries of tribal stewardship. Our bounty of natural resources appeared to be bottomless.
Yet here we are 150 years later, and the bounty is dwindling faster than any of the settlers could have imagined. We are not good stewards for these times ahead and need to re-engage our leadership.
We share our aquifer with eastern Washington, and the gold rush is on to preserve and protect the now endangered resource for all business and survival of our way of life.
