Saving the Llano
What's missing from all the bureaucratic back and forth over permits and mining and dredging is a sense of the importance of the river itself.

Maybe someone should also look into the Llano county education system there. I think the english department needs to be gone through. Mr. Stephenson should get his money back.

Bruce, it’s true that the Chanas Ranch dredging operation is unsightly, and is working through permitting problems, and could easily have been the focus of this story. However, Mr Long’s operation seemed to be a better example to use to present these issues to our readers.

Imagine what the land owners would have to go through if they found protected species like the beetle or butterfly. Maybe Condos or RV Park would have been better!

I can understand the feelings from both angles. Bureaucratic red tape often seems ridiculous when trying to just make a living. However, when that living is at the expense of natural preservation offered throughout the state rivers, one has to agree, "No one desires to live with a dredger as part of your hill country landscaping."
