\nMy name is Travis Bennett, and I’ve lived in Naylor for 9 years. One\nof the reasons I moved to Naylor was the river.\n\n \nI live less than a mile from the boat ramp. My step son, Levi\nGiddens, and I go down and fish all the time. He loves fishing that\nriver!\n<\/p>\n \nI’ve worked with\n\nthe local DNR officer, Keith<\/a>, on the litter and\nunruly people. In the past couple of years the river has stayed a\nlot cleaner. So I’m not sure why it is being said it is trashed down\nthere.\n<\/p>\n \n\n \nThanks!\n<\/p>\n \nTravis Bennett\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Received Monday; he sent it to all the Commissioners; I added a few links. -jsq To the Lowndes County Board of Commissioners: My name is Travis Bennett, and I’ve lived in Naylor for 9 years.

<\/a>\nWhen I moved here\nthere were picnic tables and trash cans down there. It was really\nnice to have a picnic and family get together!\n<\/p>\n![](\"\/blog\/images\/6a0120a58214e4970b017d41009efe970c-pi.jpg\")
<\/a>\nI am disappointed that it took until late last week to get the\npublic hearing sign up. I was at\n\nthe last hearing on this<\/a> and spoke\nwith Joyce Evans. She stated the river should remain open. I hope\nshe still thinks the same thing. I just wanted to state a few things\nI was thinking about.\n<\/p>\n
