7:37 pm
have to go to other areas to get into. a few of them may end up back on the island because of having a health center here or school here but other than that they are not going to be finding a job on the island they may come back and retire but they're not going to be working here when they're right out of college or trading. trucks were to. such a place and yet i don't blame them i can't that's why i think she lives here you can see a case here. in ca. tell me. why. i.

serious course for concern where young people link the island because we're aware of it. what's going to happen in the population so it's come on the side because we know that if we don't have people staying here then the way of light is going to somehow dissipate and. so you believe we have a part of it that is more protected so what have you done to make sure that our current is protected in the future or what have you done to ensure that we will get

7:55 pm
a couple years ago. so when they were burying these folks they were well inland and on very all the ground and now there are god into war. that's that's what we don't want to happen to change your all and we want to get some protection and make sure that we don't go into the chesapeake bay like uppers did in other communities. watch and. say.
