Very bad news if you support the Everglades land purchase

Christine Stapleton at The Palm Beach Post has not one, not two, but 10 reasons why the land purchase will not be passed by the legislature, from the article:

     Today in Tallahasee, throngs of Everglades advocates who want the South Florida Water Management District to buy 46,800 acres of land south of Lake Okeechobee from U.S. Sugar will talk to lawmakers and listen to Everglades advocates Jimmy Buffett and Carl Hiassen champion their cause.
     Despite their enthusiasm and the muscle of the powerful Everglades Foundation behind them, the effort has gained little support among decisionmakers.

Here is reason number 10:

Environmental concerns: Federal laws requiring the district to protect the habitat of migratory birds and endangered species put strict limits on the amount of water allowed in nesting areas to protect food supplies and prevent nests from being flooded. This limits the amount of water that can be stored and moved south from Lake Okeechobee.

For one example of an "environmental concern" please read the post that follows.
