Yesterday, Florida DEP issued the following press release: " Florida Governor Rick Scott, Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Secretary Herschel T. Vinyard Jr. and South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) Executive Director Melissa Meeker today met with U.S. Department of Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Deputy Secretary of Civil Works Jo Ellen Darcy and U.S. Department of Justice Assistant Attorney General Ignacia Moreno to reaffirm Florida’s long-standing commitment to restoring America’s Everglades. During a meeting of state and federal principals, Florida’s Governor outlined a strategy for improving water quality and sending cleaner water south to the vast ecosystem, while protecting jobs and the state’s economy."
Did they talk about methyl mercury and the threat to pregnant women and children. Much of the worst toxin is flowing out of Big Sugar: the state's largest polluter. Read an editorial from Florida Sportsman from October's edition. There are some things we can agree upon, can't we?
