[summer]

An excerpt from the above article, "Collision Course":

....[FL] Environmentalists find it ironic that, with regard to this subject [the proposed airport in the Everglades], their strongest allies have often been Republicans while their fiercest opponents have been Democrats. Outgoing Republican Sen. Connie Mack, for example, opposes the development of a commercial airport at the air base. One of Mack's Republican colleagues, Sen. George Voinovich of Ohio, tried to guarantee that the proposed airport would not hinder plans to restore the Everglades.

On the other hand, redeveloping the [Homestead, FL Airforce] base as a commercial airport has been supported over the years by Graham and fellow Democrats such as Penelas, Congresswoman Carrie Meek, former Gov. Lawton Chiles, Senator-elect Bill Nelson while he was state insurance commissioner, and State Sen. Daryl Jones [Note: Jones is now a Dem candidate for FL gov 2002]...

[Also, note: the USA Homestead Airport Base in FL had been devastated by Hurricane Andrew in the early 1990's.]
