Sounds like the good citizens of Florida need to anty up and pay to fix the dike. At least Jeb is not demanding that the feds come in and pay for it.
Every single day there are umpteeth morononic eviroNAZI's bitching and moaning and complaining and attacking the Lake Okeechobee Water Management District for allowing TOO MUCH drain off into the St. Lucie waterway.
Every option these wackos can think of to stop the fresh water flow back into the Atlantic is used. From brackish water contamination to high oxigination to endangered species to etc., etc.
The City, County and State have given in to these jerks and reduced the drainage to a daily trickle.
The safety net is attainable, but the greens won't allow it.
Actually we kinda want it fail. Retake Fl bay from New York.
