This Year
Bill to block local governments from protecting thousands of acres of wetlands. Which passed
This Year
He has
introduced a destructive bill that will prevent local governments from being
able to protect their own water supply.
HB 703 not only prohibits local governments
from enforcing wetlands, springs or storm water protections – it takes the
decision-making powers out of their hands and gives it to Tallahassee
politicians.
Frank Matthews, who lobbies on behalf of developers, phosphate miners, boat manufacturers, sugar growers, power companies and a garbage company said
"I can't say enough good things about him He couldn't be more accommodating. That's the appealing thing to me."
