FRUSTRATION!!! Many of you may have seen the news reports last night covering the story of the termination of our Revocable Permit by the Harbors Division. In each case 15-30 minutes was spent with reporters giving great detail about our response to the termination, with virtually none of it getting into the sound bites that were presented.

For those who can influence others or want to contact Harbors Division, here are the key points to raise:

- What objective evidence does Harbors have to support the allegations that Falls of Clyde poses a safety and security risk to the harbor?
- Why doesn’t Harbors recognize that a capital campaign can take several years and FFOC only had a financial target and started planning a campaign in 2015?
