Week In Review
Did you know that the Department of Veterans Affairs has been performing extremely painful and distressing research experiments on dogs? This week I helped introduce a new bill called the PUPPERS Act to put an end to these terrible, abusive tests once and for all.
This week the Army Corps of Engineers held their first three public planning meetings on the new proposed Lake Okeechobee System Operating Manual. Read this blog to learn more on how you can participate.
Last year I passed legislation to force the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to redo the Lake Okeechobee Regulation Schedule (LORS) that determines when toxic discharges from Lake O are sent into our community. That rewrite process starts now with a chance to make our community’s voice heard! Learn more:
This week, the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works sent us an update on the Southern Storage Reservoir project, and it had some good news in it that I’d like to share with you.
This was a HUGE week for our waterways. Read this blog to learn more.
This week was the very first week of the new Congress, and I was honored to be sworn in for a second time to continue fighting to make our community safer, healthier, and stronger.
The federal government, through the Army Corps of Engineers, has played a huge role in perpetuating the human health crisis caused by Lake Okeechobee discharges and they need to take responsibility for the damage by helping to pay for the cleanup.
After seven years of war and the deaths of more than half of a million people, the atrocities of the Assad regime are still ongoing with the help of Russia and Iran. The United States must push for an end to the violence and suffering in Syria and hold the perpetrators accountable.
Florida’s environment is a non-negotiable priority - central to our economy, quality of life, and most importantly, the health of every family. The well-being of the Everglades, our beaches, our waterways and other ecosystems impact everybody that lives in Florida.
I'm excited to share with you two bills that we've passed to make progress on environmental issues facing our community – the Strengthening Coastal Communities Act and the Jupiter Island Land Transfer Act. Watch to learn more.
