SFWMD: You’ve been part of a propaganda campaign”
Thank you Kenny Hinkle for this great video. This is great work.
Last Thursday SFWMD voted to terminate the 46,000 acre option on the sugar lands where our reservoir was suppose to go.
You know the one that was going clean and convey the water south they way GOD intended it and man screwed it up. Yes, that land. The one that was suppose recharge the aquifers, help stop salt water intrusion, save South Florida’s water and help us to to stop the toxic discharges.
You can hear for yourself.
I’d like to address two things.
Melanie Peterson
Your job was to read the water study. What I’m confused about is why you thought we didn’t read it and talk about it and ask questions about it? We, as in all us advocates, actually talk to each other and communicate with each other daily. We share articles. .We talk about the water every day. Multiple times a day.
I also think you need to do your homework and understand what you are calling local runoff. have you ever been to western martin county? Seriously. Your a horse person and a real estate person. I’m sure your great at both. But to spit in the face of the people who have lived and breathed this water issue is unacceptable.
If you want people to treat you with respect then if has to be both ways. You were totally disrespectful.
We were getting “local runoff” and we did not have green algae. It wasn’t pretty. But before that things were clearing up and they were going test and then the ACOE opened the gates.
“If your concerned about the estuaries.” really. If you were you would understand your remarks were simply sugar speak and a big wink wink.
There is no one more well informed that the group before you. 6 months before the discharges we were documenting here and havn’t stopped.

we also have a you tube page
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-c0h9IbytVikLpiQxEAS6g
We also have other pages where thousands of people talk to each other every day. Every day. Multiple times a day. We wake up with each and we at night time we check in to see whats going on.
So before you insult all my hard working friends who have given up their lives for this you should do your homework. Actually, they deserve an apology. You need to apologize.
You can send it here and i’ll post it. You also need to watch the video above. and then you need to resign immediately.
Of course Mitch Hutchcraft doesn’t want the land in play. He is also in real estate and I’m sure part of your golden parachute will be to build big things on this land. Good luck with that!
You cannot build big things south of the lake. Why? We are getting the discharges is to protect the people south of the lake because they are in danger because of the dike. So putting more people in danger is not an option. If you all think its ok o build then maybe it’s not as dangerous as we were told.
No offense.You are really out of touch and you have no business being part of the people who decide how to deal with our water. In fact, your entire presentation was beyond frightening.
Then my favorite part was I could hear Gayle just having a meltdown and Mr Moran telling her that she was exposed to propaganda.
really? hahahhh
That is seriously rich.
and if it propaganda why is Senator Negron promising to buy other land so we get all the scientists together and send the water south? Why?
State Sen. Joe Negron said Friday he’ll continue “full-speed ahead” seeking $500 million to buy land south of Lake Okeechobee, even though the option of getting it from the U.S. Sugar Corp. is dead.
Now if our Congressman Patrick Murphy understands this and our Senator Joe Negron Understands this. Why don’t you?
Mr Moran should have attended the Everglades Coalition meeting where we listened to real “scientists” talk about sea level rise and we went to a great session about the northern estuaries.
He should have gone he would have learned something.
or at least read a book.
Here’s a great book he can read!
Because sir, if your going to berate us. you really need to know the facts.
so here is my documentation from EVCO

Please bone up because I’m sure your not calling the following people propagandists. You surely have time to take that back.
Here are the following people who have been going to SFWMD plead with the Board of Govenor’s to buy the land and send the water south.
US (The River Warriors)
The Everglades Coaltion
The Everglades Trust
The Everglades Foundation
Florida Audobon
Tropical Audobon
Everglades Law Center
The Indian RiverKeeper
Ray Judah
Mark Perry Director of Florida Oceanographic, WRAC member
Palm Beach County Soil
Ed Fielding, Martin County Commissioner
Jacqui Thurlow-Lippisch, Sewell’s Point Commissioner and WRAC member
Dr Gary Goforth
The Sierra Club
Maggy Hurchella
I’m sure there are more. You get the drift.
You have no intention of doing anything because your orders are clear. Privatize the water and you will be rewarded handsomely.
When you sink this low can you really trust the puppet master?
Axis of evil: Big Sugar- Legislature- SFWMD
Just so you know the difference THIS is a propaganda campaign. Trying to stop you from polluting us, saving the water, saving the Everglades and stopping sea level rise and salt water intrusion certainly is not propaganda. But YOUR propaganda campaign is just as bad as this. Now lets all go get some coffee made from snow.
Keep ON them Cyndi!
