We do not want, nor do we need, a Myrtle Beach destination. Years of private and public conservation efforts have kept our coast some of the last remaining undisturbed ecosystems along the eastern seaboard. Introducing legislation that will allow for tourist destination gambling, will negatively impact this biologically diverse jewel we currently treasure, wiping out years of conservation and preservation efforts. Let’s leave this wonderful and undisturbed natural environment for our children and future generations to enjoy; put the neon lights, concrete, billboards and all the trash that they will draw to this area elsewhere.

We have destroyed so much of the natural habitat in the name of growth and development. This area is one of the last of the pristine coastal environments left for the wildlife and natural habitat. NO House Bill 30.
