Thank you to Rep. Smith for help with problem after historic flooding

Posted

After three years (October 2015 - 1,000-year event, 21.3 inches of rain), two engineers, surveys, endless phone calls, meetings with state officials - when we had lost all hope, Rep. Murrell Smith took our phone call on June 7, 2018. He immediately called state officials concerning our situation, allowing our engineer to proceed in obtaining necessary information, thus assuring state officials our pond's height and volume were below state requirements.

Oct. 19, 2018, we received our "exemption status," (thank you Lord).

We wish to thank everyone involved and especially Rep. Smith. He took time to take our calls and speak to officials on our behalf, calling as late at 7 p.m. June 14, 2018, after a long day in court and at the office.

We voted for Rep. Smith in the past and will vote for him Nov. 6.
