an article from two years ago
Rick scott, the utterly useless opie putnam, desantis, and the rest of the utterly corrupt florida state government have refused to do anything about this.
The voters of florida overwhelmingly voted for an amendment in 2014 to begin buying institutung measures to begin to prevent this. They used it for their own corrupt purposes, and raked in millions in pig sugar bribes and grift, aka known as campaign contributions and lobbying donations.
It is time to vote again, florida watersports men and women.
This time to remove these dirtbags from office, and prevent them from continuing to do this to us.
"Gov. Rick Scott has reacted with unwavering impotence, declaring one state of emergency after another while blaming the federal government for failing to upgrade the dike surrounding the lake so that more dirty water can be retained.
Cleaning up that dirty water is not a priority for this Republican governor or this Republican-led Legislature. In exchange for a deluge of campaign donations, they have worked steadfastly to gut pollution regulations and put the biggest polluters in control of state water policy.
This year their shameless sellout was complete. One of the worst water management bills in Florida history was passed and quickly signed by Scott, basically allowing big agricultural operations to police their own chemical discharges with little or no enforcement by the state.
Meanwhile, most of the millions of dollars earmarked by voters for the purchase of conservation lands continues to be diverted by lawmakers for other expenses. The constitutional amendment overwhelmingly approved almost two years ago by Floridians is now toilet paper in the governor's mansion.
The whole world is now seeing the result of Scott's execrable stewardship of our priceless natural resources. It's an ecological nightmare for the state, and a political nightmare for him"
