Urgent Request For Phone Calls NOW ... by gimleteye

A commisioner may be trying to block a Miami-Dade County resolution by Commissioners Levine and Sosa urging the Florida Legilsature to set aside $500 million in Amendment 1 funding.

Juan Zapata has just pulled the resolution urging the Florida legislature to set aside $500 million in Amendment 1 funding for purchase of environmentally sensitive lands like those offered by US Sugar through an option to purchase that expires in October.

As we have written: BUY THE LAND. For the future of 8 million residents of South Florida who depend on the Everglades for drinking water!

Please send your emails now to:

Email: bianca@miamidade.gov

Ask Ms. Bianca Caviglia, Director of Legislative Policy, District 11, to release item 11A25!

The sugar industry has been spreading disinformation non-stop on this issue. What a shame that a member of the Miami-Dade county commission is lining up against the public interest. This is also about Miami-Dade's future!

IT PASSED 7 to 5. Bovo, Zapata, Pepe, Souto and Monestime voted against it. Jean, Jean, Jean --- I hate your voting record. Who are you listening to, Pepe?

Boy, Monestime has been going downhill fast. He is being told how to vote by too many sleazy lobbyists.
