DeSantis Disappoints With Ocklawaha Veto

Gov. Ron DeSantis had an opportunity support a measure long-sought by Sierra and other environmental advocates to restore the Ocklawaha River to a free-flowing stream.
But noooooooo! as the late John Belushi used to say.
He caved to the status quo and the dam that created a reservoir that buried active springs and barricades the last 13 miles of the historic waterway will remain.
Legislators had approved a $6.25 million appropriation to begin work to dismantle this anachronism from the days when structural water-management projects ruled the day, but DeSantis vetoed it.
I guess we will have to wait to see whether his successor is more enlightened.
