Rick Scott’s water loyalists

September 10, 2015Tom

With the staff shakeup yesterday at SFWMD, four of the five water management districts now have executive directors that previously worked in Rick Scott’s office or in his Department of Environmental Protection. (The only exception (for now?) is the Southwest Florida Water Management District.) This fealty to the governor is unprecedented in Florida’s water management history. Florida’s regional water boards have willingly surrendered much of their independence.
