I support your recent efforts (and those of the town governments of Essex and Deep River) in keeping Long Island Sound and Connecticut River public access areas open and available to the public.

I urge you to continue your fight to keep these public lands from being confiscated by private landowners. As special situations arise at these locations, I support your balanced approach (for example, not requiring the removal of heirloom plantings that predate current ownership).

I hope you will remain steadfast in your opposition to the taking of public lands by private individuals, and in your determination to keep these areas open and well-marked for the Connecticut citizens who paid for them with their tax dollars.
