Have we paid attention? Nearly 52 years ago, a joint committee of 150 experts from the Governor’s Conference on Water Management in South Florida told then-Gov. Reubin Askew that South Florida’s water crisis required shutting the door, as “the population level must be one that can be supported by the available natural resources, especially water, in order to sustain a quality environment.”

As the ICA predicted the Supreme Court rejected the Village’s appeal. More wasted tax dollars (already spent more than $400,000)! What’s worse, the council is considering asking the legislature to relax the safety protocol embedded in our evacuation plan with no public discussion or input. A change of this significance warrants a workshop!
