Do leaders care about litter on State Road 52, elsewhere?
Editor: My husband and I have asked how we could start with a cleanup of State Road 52. As one drives west on State Road 52 from Interstate 75, one sees some very depressing sights. If owners of the properties would cooperate in a cleanup, we think we can find residents who would be glad to help in beautifying that stretch of highway. If Florida had a deposit on cans and bottles, a good part of the cleanup would be taken care of. It would be nice if we could encourage people to take enough pride in Pasco not to pitch debris on the road sides. Those two options failing, we would be willing to participate in a pickup with authorization from Pasco commissioners. In fact, it would be nice if our commissioners initiate an ongoing cleanup of the county. Instead of financing a tennis facility at Saddlebrook, it seems there are more important ways to spend money in Pasco. If our elected officials won’t help, let’s do it and look for new officials.
