Excellent #Florida reporting here

👀

What a front page.

Horrified at how #Florida’s Gov DeSantis is militarizing our Capitol. Grass replaced with astroturf, barricades, trees cut down. Awful. Thx Susan Gage for photo

RIP former #Florida Lt Gov (and briefly, Gov) Buddy MacKay. He was a great guy — a compassionate, humble leader who fought for the public good and dearly loved this state.

Good description by Bruce Ritchie in POLITICO Florida of how #Florida officials are now using our tax $$ to hand out conservation easements for Big Ag lands rather than buying lands for public parks (which is what voters directed) politico.com/news/2024/12/2…

“This latest move by President Biden is the closest we have come to permanent protection in this now 40-year-plus fight,” said Mark Ferrulo of Progress Florida.

👀Must-read by #Florida's incomparable columnist and scholar, Diane Roberts Diane Roberts, on the historical legacy of #JimmyCarter in The Florida Phoenix floridaphoenix.com/2025/01/06/fro…

Climate change, a development boom, and overexploitation of groundwater are draining the Sunshine State: “I don’t know why the state of Florida keeps issuing all these permits." grist.org/science/florid…

Yikes

My New Year's resolution this year, as it was last year, is "Don't get mad at the robots." They don't care, and you're only hurting yourself. But, this right here.....👀

Once again, #Florida citizens are getting punished for standing up for our natural resources and public waters. Thx Calusa Waterkeeper board members for this Tampa Bay Times column tampabay.com/opinion/2025/0…

For those who questioned whether Ron DeSantis' influence has waned ... DeSantis is now a lame-duck governor who got pummeled by Trump and had his 2028 ambitions dashed as well. The GOP Speaker & Senate prez shut him down in just a few hours, saying: "completely irresponsible."

👀#Florida utility official: “I suggested that changing the ‘Growth pays for Growth’ line of thinking may be helpful because, in my review of the Utility financials, this was not the conclusion I drew from the numbers." observerlocalnews.com/news/2025/jan/…

Thanks Diane Roberts Diane Roberts for this hilarious column in The Florida Phoenix "Why not? Canada doesn’t do anything but sit up there being polite. Politeness is a security risk." floridaphoenix.com/2025/01/13/man…

Happy birthday Dr King

Here is a win for citizens across the country, thanks to the Earthjustice attorneys I work with. I think we can all agree that stopping loose rules that would create exploding "bomb trains" is a good thing. earthjustice.org/press/2025/cou…
