I believe this will be a good law and protect Georgia's beautiful coast from the rampant development that you see in places in Florida...

The Senate gave final approval Friday to legislation re-establishing a 25-foot buffer around the state’s marshes.

Senate Bill 101, which has been subject to a see-saw battle between developers and environmentalists, now goes to Gov. Nathan Deal for his signature.

The measure would give the state power to review projects that gain federal permits. More importantly to environmentalists, however, is that lawmakers have received a promise from the state’s Environmental Protection Division to prevent property owners from building make-shift bulkheads along the marsh.

A lot of good news lately. That, plus the plastic bags everywhere bill just got shot down. Our representatives from the coast did the right thing! Very glad this got done. The bill is not perfect and there are exemptions and loopholes but it was better to get this passed than to let some groups sink it by asking for too much too soon. It can always be improved in the future.
