" What about all the federal money your state got out of the Everglades restoration because your delegation was in the position of "gate-keeper"?

Note your own words:

"your state".

Even though the "state" has no expertise in managing any ecosystem as they have been screwing up the Everglades for over 90 years. What makes anyone think that after 90 years of practice they are going to get it right now?????????? All money that goes to a state means that you subtract 20% for the bureaucrats to line their own pockets and pet projects and another 70% to be wasted. If you honestly believe that this money will do any good, then you must have an autographed copy of "Earth in the Balance" on your shelf.

He lives in PA, not Florida, so the Everglades has nothing to do with that money.

As for the restoration, the way it stands now, it will be the Corp and the state with Interior providing oversight. Its very easy for you to sit back and snipe at those doing the work but the fact remains, Florida will double its population in 50 years, so somebody better do something.

Of course we will have to build numerous dams here and no doubt we will be able to get some federal money to assist, but it won't be anywhere near the amount or percentage that the welfare queens in Florida will be getting. But shoot, it is very important that AAA Best makes some big bucks on his bad investment.
