Politicians and activist groups are playing a dangerous game with our water in South Florida.
They are lobbying the federal government’s Army Corps of Engineers to manage Lake Okeechobee in a manner that would be detrimental to our everyday way of life. Lake Okeechobee is the lifeblood of Florida’s water:
We’ve already suffered through the effects of the last time their reckless gamble failed. They pressured the government to dump millions of gallons of precious water from the lake and harmed South Florida in the process.
The rains did not come, and Lake Okeechobee did not have enough water as South Florida entered a drought. Lake Okeechobee could not hydrate the Everglades, which burned for days.
