Floridians Against "Sugar Hill"

Two coastal communities ravaged by algae from Lake Okeechobee discharges held simultaneous protests last Wednesday to demand Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) reject US Sugar's proposed city in the Everglades and send water south. here

The River Warriors were out in force in Ft. Pierce and the Solidarity Fish “swam” to both coasts to join the effort.  Organizations involved in Ft. Myers and Ft. Pierce included:  Sierra Club, Indian River Keeper, Sanibel Captiva Chamber of Commerce, Rivers Coalition, Sanibel Captiva Conservation Foundation, Reef Relief, Treasure Coast Progressive Alliance, Martin County Chapter of the Native Plant Society, River Kidz, Responsible Growth Management Coalition, Inc., and Audubon Society of the Everglades.

Florida's Culture Of Corruption: Big Sugar And The Florida GOP

U.S. Sugar and its allies are not just interested in influencing an upcoming water policy debate in Tallahassee. They are quietly pursuing big development plans on land the state has an option to buy to protect the Everglades. here

GOP Voters we know you guys like to take it deep so we are still offering a free tube of Warming Jelly to make THE Experience More Memorable. Dems if you don't get out and vote you will need a tube of your own.

The Sugar Hill Sector Plan In The Everglades

The Sugar Hill Sector Plan envisions turning 43,313 acres -- or more than 67 square miles -- of sugar cane fields (me: historical Everglades), citrus groves and pasture lands into a planned community featuring 18,000 residential units and 25 million square feet of space to accommodate manufacturing, warehousing, transportation services and other kinds of businesses." here

Say goodbye to the Everglades if this goes through. It is just a swamp anyway to most of you, even though it is your source of drinking water.  If we ever needed Charlie Crist we need him now. Charlie, save us from this development plan
