Email to Crawford Powell, Lowndes County Commissioner, District 3 Re: Sabal Trail pipeline

Dear Commissioner Powell,

Thank you for your service to Lowndes County as my county commissioner these last years.

Commissioner Powell, you will leave the commission at the end of the year. I ask as this one parting gift to the citizens of Lowndes County, that you would attempt to get a majority of the commissioners to pass an ordinance, with teeth, that would effectively prevent Sabal Trail from running the pipeline through our county. You could even start with outright prohibition of any pipeline company surveying for, or contructing a pipeline through Lowndes County without the expressed written consent of the Lowndes County Commission.  I intend to write other commissioners to ask them to join with you, and to get it on the chairman's agenda for a vote. You could do this if you so chose. 

Know that if you would do this, you would have my sincere gratitude from the bottom of my heart. I think doing this would be for the benefit of the citizens of Lowndes County, and it would be you to whom history would point to as the one who supported the effort. 

Thank you,
