From You
TO: ACC Commish

Open Letter to ACC Commissioners:
We are the citizens who invited you to the Feb. 13 meeting to discuss the proposed National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility. We felt that a meeting with our elected officials would be helpful in preparing for the Department of Homeland Security’s return visit. Unfortunately, our window for scheduling this event was severely narrowed when the DHS suddenly announced its Feb. 19 meeting. We wish more of you could have participated, but because we could only offer an eight-day notice we anticipated that some of you would be unable to attend.
The purpose of this letter is to answer any questions concerning this sudden, impromptu meeting. Evidently the stimulus for this meeting has been the source of much anxiety and speculation. Rest assured, there is no hidden agenda. We simply needed to hear from our elected officials on a matter that affects us all.
Instead of infighting, opponents and proponents alike need to focus on addressing the serious questions raised by this proposal. Why not approach this controversy with the confidence that good people on all sides of this complex issue are working to determine and accomplish what they believe to be best for everyone?
Thank you all for your hard work.
