From our "Everglades Scientist"...

He, who of all people would be the one most likely to know, has not responded to my question regarding water restrictions.  On another matter soon after he was elected, I sent him an e-mail that contained a question.  When I asked him why he didn't respond, he said that he knew that I would put his response on the blog.  I told him that is part of being a public official - your utterances are public information.  He smirked in response.
