  • Mad about road

    Regarding the article from June 9, citing alleged "illegal road construction in Cedar Key Heights." I would like to correct the following information.
    1. The article stated that SRWMD said I claimed the road was grandfathered in because it was built in 2008.

These core values are the underpinnings of wholesome family lives and harmonious communities. The tradition has served us well.
