OPINION

Letter to the Editor

To the Messenger:

This is in response to the article in The Meade County Messenger dated Dec. 2, 2009, “Muldraugh selects storm water engineer.

As we know this storm water MS4 is a mandated requirement by the federal government. The city of Muldraugh has known this for years, however Mayor Tate only got serious about implementing a program after the city was facing $25,000 a day fine per violation.

To the Messenger:

This is in response to the “name withheld” letter last week regarding the gate at the east end of Buttermilk Falls Road. It seems that it is inappropriate to park in front of any gate blocking a roadway whether it has a sign on it or not. For the writer’s information, this road provides access to the sewage treatment plant, three privately-owned parcels, as well as one owned by the City of Brandenburg and one owned by the Industrial Park. It is clear therefore that access to these properties at anytime must be assured.
