    Interesting, but not surprising.

    Same article was in the Tampa Bay Times last Sunday.......nothing we all don't already know, and have for years.....
    We should all consider ourselves fortunate to have lived in the time "window" we have...when the water quality was still good, and the technology was there to allow the enjoyment of the environment. I fear it won't be around in the near future.

    The first day that the ag pumps spray saltwater on the crops, the state government will take action.

    The sad part of that is that at that point, any action will be in vain because it will be to late to try to reduce/reverse the damage.

    At that point all those vertical clinics will be needed,because we will need vertical equipment to get to the bottom of the Breakdown room at Peacock to find water :-(

    Sad. The almighty dollar will continue to feed this problem, not fix it.

    Please email the governor and voice your concern over the defunding of the Springs initiative put in place by Jeb Bush.

    I am doing exactly that. However I keep having to stop because I am trying to be professional and not get overly emotional and start calling him names.

    It's not the years in your life that matter, but the life in your years.
