Environmentalists ‘halt’ economy

September 10, 2010

NH Business Review Staff,

To the editor:Your article on water permits (“USA Springs withdraws challenge of local authority,” NHBR.com) demonstrates why our unemployment will never get any better, as all over the nation this is going on and every job producer and export possibility should be put on a fast track, but that is not the case at all.We have been trying to build a picnic area on the lake in Meredith, for our owners, but we have been at it one year, spent $7,000 on consultants, and we have been turned down. This was a $45,000 project, but no jobs will come of it.What a mess my grandchildren are in, as this country is at a 100-percent halt, by environmentalists!Fred Taubert
