Gayle Reynolds, Chair for the Sarasota Conservation Committee of the Manatee-Sarasota Sierra Club, is part of an effort by concerned citizens to slow down the sprawl. She is joining Steve and Lew to talk about how the 2050 plan is being subverted from its original goal of offering a commonsense approach to growth and what some are trying to do about.
