Campaign website
Marshburn's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
The bottom line is this; every influence on water quality must be assessed. These issues must be addressed omitting nothing and no one. Apparently, wastewater is getting into the lake and must be captured and contained. Decades of neglect are plaguing recovery. The incumbent administration will have you believe they are working the sewer problem. Those are the exact words they used to self-describe their efforts to heal the lake right before the fish kill. Their actions to date are reactionary, far too late to be effective, far behind where we should be if the lake was diagnosed 6-years ago. Insane secrecy and pure carelessness has killed our lake and endangered our entire civilian population. Stormwater bringing every contaminate from granular fertilizers, raw manure to ant killer must be stopped by ordinance to ban chemicals. Comprehensive stormwater run-off plans to contain, and control rainfall are vital. The town should not allow an archaic NC Statute supporting fertilizer use at all cost, to continue to threaten us. Rainwater filling our sewers must cease. Seabirds that are not indigenous in such numbers must be passively deterred to feed elsewhere. Natural shoreline filtration lost to seawall construction must be turned back on. Every pipe from every business and private yard draining into the lake should only emit clear clean rainwater.[1] |
