May 24, 2008, 5:19pm (report abuse)I've been all over the world and would not want to live anywhere but on the Neches River. I feel threatened by Bill 5891.
At 54 years old, I've finally found my place. How many people will be displaced by "domain" at the end of this?

May 26, 2008, 1:39pm (report abuse)I am against this bill. There are many retired people living in this area. Many of whom have had their homestead in the family since before the civil war. My family is among one of them. To think that our inheritance and history will be taken over by the government is an outrage and a big disappointment to a free country. I am outraged that in this day and time the government still tries to uproot and take over private family history. Leave well enough alone.

May 28, 2008, 8:10pm (report abuse)I am 100% AGAINST this Bill. What has America stooped to taking Land that has belong in some people's possesions through generations all because some congressman want his bill past. They care nothing for those who are living on this land. I would like to see how they would feel if some big giant came along and stripped them of anything of importance to them. Leave my Family and our heritage alone..................

June 23, 2008, 7:09pm (report abuse)I, too, am against this Bill- to think that Mr. Brady would want to take away over 75000 families and businesses to make way for an Eco-Tourist Stop is beyond me! My In-Laws have lived on their property for 109 years and thisLegacy was to be willed to my Daughter so she can live a part of her Family's history- this is wrong and against all that is good in American Society. Just think about all of those people, smog, garbage, and destruction that will couse to this environment! Go somewhere else and do this and stop messing with Texas History!
