Everglades Legislation Passes Florida House

For more than a year, we have been beating the drum about the need to come up with a solution for the water problems of South Florida. Too much tainted water from Lake Okeechobee is being diverted down the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee Rivers, leading to big problems on both coasts.

Yesterday, the Florida House Passed the bill, as well, which means that we are one signature away from making this project a reality.
