Post Opinion columnist Sally Swartz writes that, on Thursday, a new slate of officers and directors took over Audubon of Martin County, crushing opposition from residents who learned at the meeting that a change in bylaws means they are not members of the local chapter.

Sally says longtime members and officials have been displaced by a faction that is too friendly to the development industry.

The same group that engineered the ouster of former executive director Greg Braun and Possum Long Nature Center director Pam Hopkins last year, Sally writes, kept themselves as officers and added new board members they chose to replace longtime members.

This isn’t the first environmental group that has been taken over by folks with an agenda, and it won’t be the last.
