Need to Know
" . . . burdensome regulations"
South Florida is once again seeing "poisonous, smelly, noxious algae that has covered freshwater spots inland, and turned into a deadly red tide on more than 100 miles of Florida coastline. And no one is more responsible than Governor Rick Scott. In 2011, even before he was sworn in, he was complaining about clean water standards imposed by the EPA, and asking that Florida be spared from burdensome regulations.’’
By 2014 the Governor had "bulldozed a record of environmental protectionthat his Republican and Democratic predecessors spent decades building. He weakened the enforcement of environmental laws and . . . simultaneously made it easier for the biggest polluters to degrade the state's natural resources."
In fact, in 2018 both the Governor and the Republican legislature have compiled an abysmal record that only voters can change
