conocean Posted January 11, 2019 Report Posted January 11, 2019 https://www.tradeonlytoday.com/industry-news/florida-governor-announces-sweeping-changes-in-water-policy Let's hope Governer DeSantis doesn't let us down!
Limitless Posted January 11, 2019 Report Posted January 11, 2019 I believe the Governor is very serious about this approach to turning things around. His strong recognition of the symbiotic relationship between Florida's economy and the environment is real. He will do what he says, of course big sugar still has some friends in the legislature that may slow it down some. Hopefully he'll pull the plug on Beruff's appointment to the FWC too!
Big Dave Posted January 11, 2019 Report Posted January 11, 2019 This was some of the best news I've read in a long time. That was a principal reason for my support. He "gets it".
jason p Posted January 12, 2019 Report Posted January 12, 2019 Fingers crossed. Probably the best news I’ve gotten from someone I actually voted for in a long time.
Coto Posted January 12, 2019 Report Posted January 12, 2019 Yep and plus for getting that sheriff out of office in Broward.
Limitless Posted January 12, 2019 Report Posted January 12, 2019 Just heard he is rescinding Scott's appointment of Beruff to the FWC. The Guv may be just the kick-***, get it done guy we've been waiting for!
Capt. Troy Posted January 12, 2019 Report Posted January 12, 2019 Didn't even have enough time to get his photo up. There are a few more on the commission that Scott appointed that need to be looked at. Rood is the only one on there now that mentions fishing and hunting in her BIO. A few others are suspect to me. Read the BIO's below. Besides Rood is pretty! https://myfwc.com/about/commission/commissioners/
linesider 159 Posted January 12, 2019 Report Posted January 12, 2019 A great step in the right direction. The environmental issues lately have cost the state a lot of tourism money. Freshwater lakes are dealing with relentless spraying, and saltwater has its own issues. This action coupled with the closed snook and redfish could really be a turning point for the improvement of our fisheries. Hopefully it continues

jason p Posted January 12, 2019 Report Posted January 12, 2019 Be careful of the pretty ones... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pam_Bondi
MuddyBottomBluz Posted January 12, 2019 Report Posted January 12, 2019 She actually resigned from the commission shortly after Governor was sworn in, she saw the writing on the wall?
Limitless Posted January 13, 2019 Report Posted January 13, 2019 I believe the one that resigned was SFWMD vice chair, Melanie Peterson, not the FWC commissioner Rood.
MuddyBottomBluz Posted January 13, 2019 Report Posted January 13, 2019 You are correct, I heard it on the news, guess they had their facts incorrect, imagine that!

This^^^^ I am glad she is still there. Have met with both her and her husband and they seemed pretty genuine. Here is another one of Scott's appointees. Ties to SFWMD https://myfwc.com/about/commission/commissioners/kellam/
