Beginning June 23, The Washington Post ran a four-part series totaling more than 18,000 words titled "The Swamp," on the past, present and future of America's Everglades.

Those that can do. Those that can't teach, and those that cant do or teach work for the govt. And those that are so pathetic that they can't even work for the govt. get jobs at the South Florida Water Management Dist.

The S.F.W.M.D is so bad and wastes so much money it is criminal. They are responsible for the killing of Lake Okeechobee. They spend money on land that is in reality govt land to begin with. They allow farmers to back pump phosperous rich fertelizer rich water back into Lake Okeechobee. They have destroyed most of the economy around the everglades. They have spent tens of millions of dollars on dubious plans to help the Florida panther. I wouldn't let these idiots clean up my bathtub much less the water supply for south florida.

Second, Florida has made the unprecedented commitment to fully fund half of the project.

Jeb must've pulled this line directly from Bureaucratese 101.

Is it fully funded or only half funded Jeb?.
