Why don't you ping Summer to this thread. I would imagine she would be a great source of information about what measures the Governor(Bush) has enacted to help restore the Everglades. The Everglades and it's restoration are important to all Floridians. Federal Government land grabs are not.

I remember when communities stopped just past Plantation and resumed just east of Ft. Meyers. Now it is almost coast to coast housed. Not a good thing.

Bunk. Florida is still over 70% undeveloped and won't develop at much more than a 4% pace per 10-20 year period (that's Jeb's figures, not mine). The Kissimmee River project with Jeb's support and the Army Corp. of Engineers will correct most of the problems in the Everglades and the lake. If you think a land grab by the state is ok, why don't you start by giving up your home as a wildlife habitat? Because under the rules these people (envirosocialists) are playing by, every square inch of this nation should be returned to its' natural state.

LOl...thanks, but there is another thread and another thread and another thread, and I have been through this -- I think FL needs the water provided by the Everglades Restoration. AAABEST and Henry Lamb say the h*ll with everyone else in SW FL, these people, drought or no drought, are staying put in their homes. GOod luck is all I can say, since the rest of the county and the state wants the water, and the got has ever right to take private property and get the water to the people. Had this group decided to protest the fact they may lose so much money that they can not stay in the community, I would have supported them, and I think Gov Bush would be interested too, but that is my opinion and not a fact. However, my repeated posts fell on deaf ears and earned me some nasty comments. No problem. I tried. Good luck!
