A PAC to keep District 1 incumbent Mike
Moran
It was a shock for District 1 residents to watch
their County Commissioner, Mike Moran, vote
to put an industrial waste transfer facility next
to the Celery Fields. The Celery Fields is a
storm water wetlands restoration project that
yielded amazing environmental beneÞts. It has
become a wildlife sanctuary, with over 220
species of birds spotted there at diûerent times
of the year. YouÕd think the County
Commissioner representing District 1 would
protect it from industrial development. Not
Moran.
Rural residents in District 1 are also alarmed by
the encroachment of sprawl development on
their way of life. The County Commission has
not been receptive to their concerns, so these
residents of Old Miakka began a movement
called ÒKeep the Country CountryÓ.
