Election 2000 was the year Gov. Jeb Bush announced his controversial decision to restore FL's Ocklawaha River. I actually once knew one of the guys fighting the damming of that river in the first place. He was one of the handful of folks in Florida to do so and was considered a crackpot at the time. I knew him because he was a sports coach from whom I learned tennis and took baitcasting lessons. Coach Philpott. He was no dreamy-eyed liberal either. Just a sports fisherman who hated what they were doing to that river. At the time he was considered engaged in crank activity. Now I guess he would be considered a visionary.

From editorial:
"Election 2000 was the year Gov. Jeb Bush announced his controversial decision to restore FL's Ocklawaha River."
From PJ's reply:

PJ, thank you very much for taking the time to write and include that background info on this matter. And, yes, I agree that your friend, Coach Philpott, would be considered a visionary.
BTW, as you probably know, Gov. Jeb Bush and others in his family, especially his dad, are also sports fishermen, like Coach Philpott.
Perhaps that fact helps to explain, in part, Gov. Bush's decision here -- to side with environmentalists against the wishes of his own party, and restore the river.
Thanks again for writing. :)
