Many potential water-related projects surface as the state legislature reviews resources (money) and priorities. As usual, it's a case of too much to address with too little in the way of funding. Click title for link.
During an interview about water issues Thursday, Rep. Steve Crisafulli, R-Merritt Island and the House Speaker-designate for 2015, said he expects the House to deal with springs, farming practices that affect water quality, agricultural water storage, Indian River Lagoon and other water projects. He also questioned Senate proposals to spend $220 million on Indian River Lagoon and nearly $380 million a year on springs.
Crisafulli said he doesn't expect a rewrite of Florida water laws or changes in how water is managed and regulated.
"That is not going to happen," Crisafulli said. "There is not a silver bullet to fix all these problems. It's just a matter of working with the current situation."
