Breaking through all of the hot air coming from the swamp this week, I wanted to share a couple bits of good news on our efforts to protect our waterways.
The United States must not support a two-state solution when one of those states would be run by terrorists.
According to the recent University of Florida study, these toxins can become airborne and travel roughly 10 miles from the blooms source.
Manatees are starving to death in record numbers. Even though we’re only halfway through the year, more manatees have died this year than they did the entire last year!
This week I testified before the House Appropriations Committee urging them to allocate $725 million for Everglades restoration this year.
History tells us that when water levels on Lake Okeechobee are high in the spring, the algae is worse during the summer.
Four of these Lake O regulation plans were written by the Army Corps of Engineers, but one of them - “Alternative BB” - was actually written by two lobbyists for the sugar industry.
There was an algal bloom the size of New York City on Lake Okeechobee, yet some are still claiming that this was all just a big coincidence - that it was caused by "leaky boats"!
In the coming weeks, the Army Corps will announce a new plan for managing Lake Okeechobee that will be in place for years to come.
I sat down with my children - Magnum, Maverick, Madalyn, and Major - to write letters to the Army Corps urging them to stop poisoning us!
