To the editor:

As a hardworking taxpayer and a voter who loves Lawrence and the quality of life it gives me and my children, I want to express my appreciation to Boog Highberger, Mike Rundle and David Schauner for their opposition to the 32nd Street developmental corridor, sometimes referred to as the South Lawrence Trafficway.

I would like to thank Highberger, Rundle and Schauner for taking a stand for hardworking taxpayers against special interest developers. Thank you for looking at the community as a whole. Someday we will, as a community, look back at the farsightedness of our leaders that preserved the wetlands for future generations.

Please take time to thank our commissioners who stand behind true environmentalism for the health of our entire community and not give into a few special interest groups.

Stanley M. Weil,

Lawrence
