Letter: Think twice before turning Columbia River shoreline to local control

I would think twice about supporting the “develop and pave” business extremists who wish the federal government would turn over the Columbia River shoreline management over to local control.

The Tri-Cities shoreline is a precious gem and too valuable to allow these people a chance to exploit and ruin forever our river shore. Their judgment and motives are suspect.
