Ah, another fun filled day at the Georgia Legislature.

A hearing today at the Capital (the dome is leafed with real Georgia gold, for those of you who don't know) on one topic became another, more controversial topic with a group of activists and politicians met to criticize the plan's that developer Linger Longer Communities has set forth.

The Rep Representative for Brunswick County (Jeff Chapman) is working on a bill that would significantly limit development of the island (it would have to be retroactive to cancel the contract with Linger Longer).

Environmental activists protested that the proposed development would cut into the dunes, which are protected under state law.

Other persons testified to the fact that the average nightly rate was outside the range available to we average Joe's.

Why not stick a Ritz down there while you're at it?

This is just another case of ridiculous corporate and governmental greed, about to perpetuate one of the worst environmental disasters known to man on an island that remains pristine and natural while being inhabited by we destructive humans.

C'mon Georgia, let's rip it all down and build another Panama City!
