Letter: Supports crackdown on littering

To the editor:

All I can say is "It's about time!"

I live on a road that goes to Holmes bend lake, and it's a shame what is thrown out of car windows.

In the summer I pick up a five gallon bucket full of trash every week or two just in front of my yard.

Shirley Jones
Hope you give your support by being at the meeting. - ED
