Rec if you're in favor of Growth Managment (Florida's last wall under attack.)
Article providing inside information of a Florida politician who wants to dismantle growth management in the DCA:


Assault on environment led by the ill-informed, shortsighted

So DCA was busy killing projects "all the time." There were "numerous examples." Yet the man wanting to undermine DCA couldn't cite a single one.

This, my friends, is what passes for leadership in your state.

Facts, logic and our natural resources are becoming casualties of an ideological war.

Developers say they want to build more easily, without regard for clogged roads, crowded schools, the environment or the higher taxes you will have to pay for their far-flung projects. Dorworth and his GOP pals are happy to do their bidding.

4. We need more rec's for this topic.
This is the whole ball game in Florida. The Republicans don't know facts. They're bought and it's just a popularity contest in Florida. If we can get more reporters to bring up the fact of their ignorance, maybe the voters will wake up? Maybe we'll have more reporters posting the truth about our Florida legislature?

2. Facts just seem to be always just out of their grasp
Facts scare the living hell out of them so if they finally got facts then the hell would leave and they would be an empty shell and implode
