Letters from Monticello residents urge the Jones County Conservation Board to halt a white-water park plan and proceed with removing the Mon-Maq Dam. They warn river realignment will lower water levels in Riverside Gardens wetlands and ponds where $75,000 was spent, while proposing alternative site improvements. The petition asks County Supervisors to oppose the dam removal and back the Save Our Competition effort.
