Letter: Time To Get Equestrians On The Council

Song: “Maybe its much to early in the game/Ah, but I thought I’d ask you just the same…” When are we going to have an equestrian or two on the Wellington Village Council?

A recent Palm Beach Post article profiled Houston Meigs, who is championing Wellington’s equestrian life to safeguard 9,200 contiguous acres to allow horses to ride from one community to another.

Meigs seems like the kind of citizen that we need on the council.

We have had enough of maximizing building and density. Instead of electing people backed by the chamber of commerce or special interest groups, let’s elect citizens who believe in open space.

It’s always seems to be a battle about density, height, traffic, congestion; and never about open space.

Soon the only open spaces left will be in the Equestrian Preserve, and don’t believe for a moment that they won’t come after that.

  1. You pushed to develop the12 ac on the old driving range Binks golf course to be developed for town house and that is going to bring down our value to our homes in the area plus all the traffic. Great move Morley.
