I don't think 160 acres of undeveloped land are going to make a huge difference.. or most of Golden Gate Estates, for that matter.

If you would refer to the document cited, it states that Southern Golden Gates Estates IS the problem. While I hear you regarding "Luxury Living on the Golf Course", the restoration of the Everglades is quite important. It effects more than the immediate area, it has implications throughout the state.

The state has done a great job mucking up the Everglades, any attempt to fix it should be welcome.

The Sierra Club sounds like a group you would fit into quite nicely. I hear they are looking for people to sit in trees in California.

These environmental groups all have one thing in common. They do not care about people and individual freedom, or property rights.

Please tell me what you know about how to "fix it".

First of all, the flooding of the 60,000 acres is not restoring anything. Unless you call nutrient and contaminant rich water (poison to the Everglades) coming from caved in canals a "fix". Besides, Jesse being there will not have any effect on the green psychos plans to flood everything out of existence anyway. They just want him gone ....period.

Not for anything, but that 65,000 acres is home to panther, bear, deer, gopher tortoises, and a whole host of "endangered" flora and fauna. Why is it if I want to build on an acre lot around here I have to go through thousands of dollars of studies and mitigation (as if every one of these "endangered" animals are holy, and me building a house will destroy all of them) yet they want to flood the habitat of entire populations of these same creatures wholesale.

CERP (if you even know what that is) was started by the sickees in the Clinton administration and was literally written by sugar growers, powerful enviros and "large land owners". It's been a pathetic farce from the beginning driven by money and politics. The sad thing is that they're using 8 billion dollars of our money (that we don't have) to do this.

Yours is the typical blockhead worldview. "They told me they're saving the environment so it must be true". No facts or science, you just know what you've been told. That's why we have policy that puts turtles and frogs before children, too many morons who believe everything they're told.

Keep sucking up all that green gook you've been fed. You don't know the first thing about .....the first thing. You obviously know nothing about the the Everglades, the situation in the South Estates or Florida politics.

I agree with you, that the Everglades are worth saving; but it seems silly to me that all the money and effort is going into this problem, when our local government is still allowing overdevelopment and the impact on the environment that goes with it. Have you heard of the "black water" and "red tide" problems we've had here in SW Florida? These are algae blooms that are occurring in the Gulf of Mexico. The red tide is particularly offensive, it causes respiratory problems. Apparently the research has said these algae blooms are related to all the fertilizer runoff into the Gulf from the manicured lawns and golf courses that are in abundance here. The County keeps letting them go in, though.
