Protecting the Everglades
The Sugar Industry has launched an effort to further weaken Everglades cleanup efforts, load more of the expenses on the taxpayers, and have the Legislature attempt to nullify an important part of Florida’s Constitution. Your voice is needed right now to protect the Everglades — send a letter using the form below.

If the bill passes, the Everglades loses and you lose. Take action right now by sending a letter using the form below….
