I know there have been other blogs about this, but it seems like lately, every time I pick up the paper or turn on the local news, I see something else about taking about 250M gallons of water out of the river every day. All of this because uncontrolled growth south of us has put them in a position that they won't have enough water by 2013 (according to the news tonight).

Am I just being paranoid here, or does anyone else think that this is already a done deal. Kind of like our garbage collection contract.

I just can't believe that anyone actually thinks that this is s good cure to a self inflicted wound. The only thing I've heard from the ecologist and scientist is that they don't know what the damage would be other than killing off the sea grass.

If this is the best response they give to those that are 'debating' whether or not to do this, then we have already lost the battle. The scientist I saw on the news tonight had one of those sh** eating grins on his face like, 'Why are asking me this question? Don't you know we've already been bought and paid for to let this happen?'

It doesn't take a scientist to know that we will have a massive saltwater intrusion. Can you say get a saltwater license to fish in Black Creek?

I'm new here so I don't know all the organizations that are involved in this operation, but I'd certainly like to give them a piece of my mind if I knew their names or addresses. It may not do a heck of lot of good, but it will make me feel better for having vented on them.
