3i k <br /> Claude " Bud " Kleckner , 7720 Indian Oaks Drive , also a member of the Audubon <br /> Society and Republicans for Environmental Protection , felt this development would violate <br /> every environmental rule on the river . Mr . Kleckner then read from an e - mail he had sent <br /> to the Governor : <br /> >The Honorable Jeb Bush , Governor <br /> >Office of the Governor <br /> >The Capitol <br /> >Tallahassee, FL 32399-0001 <br /> >Dear Governor Bush: <br /> > l , Claude C. Kleckner, am a citizen of Indian River County and a member of <br /> > REP (Republicans for Environmental Protection) . <br /> > I have heard that David Struhs, Secretary of the Department of <br /> >Environmental Protection , will be submitting a proposal to your Cabinet, <br /> >sitting as the trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund, on Feb.6. <br /> >This proposal was prepared by his Division of State Lands for the <br /> >settlement of the Lost Tree Village Sovereign Lands case . <br /> >As you know, the appeal of the Circuit Court's decision on the sovereign <br /> >lands issue has been briefed and is currently waiting for a decision by <br /> >the District Court of appeals. I understand that the District Court of <br /> >appeals will be able to rule very soon on this Issue. <br /> > I recommend that the issue be rejected during the Cabinet Aides meeting on <br /> >January 31st and that the matter not be considered <br /> >during your Cabinet Meeting so as not to prejudice the Court's ruling . <br /> >Thank you for your consideration of this extremely important issue. <br /> >As stated by Indian River County Commission Chairman, Caroline Ginn: "If <br /> >the state concedes the legal fight, it could set a bad precedent for other <br /> >coastal communities seeking to protect environmentally sensitive land and <br /> >waters. We need to let the court proceedings go through so we find out <br /> >once and for all who owns that bottom land. " <br /> >Sincerety, <br /> >Claude C.
