And a giant step it was. The far-sighted and open-minded commissioners listened attentively and with interest to the detailed, informative and professionally delivered Power Point presentation by OSFR president Merrillee Malwitz-Jipson giving the many reasons for adopting an ordinance banning fracking in Columbia Co. There was a unanimous vote to draft said ordinance for advancement in this process.

Merrillee had a lot of help from local residents and some from far and wide who drove from neighboring counties, and from Orlando, Tallahassee and North Port in order to support OSFR’s request.
