I just got my SDRC news letter and am concerned about the update on STS. The first sentence says Save the Salt has taken a giant step backward, it makes mention of the work done by "new" volunteers setting up "global awareness" and rounding up a coalition of interested motorsports players. Then I read The Save The Salt Board has done little or nothing over the years, besides selling T-shirts. I've seen the salt flat recede and heard of the problems with monitoring the brine pumping.
The "new" blood is credited with having worked to make the recent governmental changes in oversight happen, including significantly increasing the amount of brine being pumped. The "old" board is accused of a "power play" made to slow down the changes? One of the "new" guys that has worked very hard getting the ball moving again, has now resigned, in what appears to be frustration, due to the inaction of the "old board".
As a contributer to Save The Salt, a racer, and a lover of Bonneville, I would like to fully understand what's really going on with the effort to preserve and improve the Bonneville salt flats. Anyone want to step up and let us know what is going on and what the plan is going forward. We all want to preserve the Bonneville Salt Flats that's why Save The Salt exists, right?
