"The Everglades Foundation is seeking legislative approval to help build a water reservoir south of Lake Okeechobee. The reservoir would preserve the natural flow of water to the Everglades, which would replenish and protect its water supply."-- The New Tropic, Miami Herald, 11/22/2016.
Good luck with that. With a Repugnicant governor and legislature and the new President Elect, the odds of this happening aren't very favorable. Unless those in power think they can make a profit by doing it. Thanks to the Army Corps of Engineers and greed, the Everglades is what it is today: barely hanging on. How ironic. If it goes, so goes the Outside. Nokosee likes to remind me that the New Seminole has got Pahayokee's (the Everglades) back. As much as I support the NS, I don't think that's enough. Or what the Everglades Foundation is trying to do -- although I like their slogan: It's Now or Neverglades. If it makes you feel better, you can sign their petition here. It beats getting killed like the NS did trying to protect it. For you, all it takes is a click.
