Upon his election in
2010, Gov. Rick Scott’s transition team included a Florida Power & Light
executive who pitched his company’s plan to build a major natural gas pipeline
in North Florida to fuel a new generation of gas-fired power plants in places
like Port Everglades.
“The proposed
project will need state regulatory and governmental agencies to understand and

Forrest.
Scott understood. In
May and June 2013, he signed into law two bills designed to speed up permitting

Our Florida
Government Officials from our REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR on down to our REPUBLICAN
CONTROLLED CONGRESS, have just diverted more of our tax dollars that the vast
majority of Floridians voted (Amendment #1) for Environmental land to pay for
their operating expenses at state agencies.
The Florida Water
and Land Conservation Initiative, Amendment 1 was on the November 4, 2014
ballot in the state of Florida
as an initiated
constitutional amendment, where it was approved.
The measure was
designed to dedicate 33 percent of net revenue from the existing excise tax on
documents to the Land Acquisition Trust Fund.[1]
Conservation funds
Amendment to its operating expenses at state agencies , in short, to help pay
for Pan Bundy and governor Rick Scotts court cases!
Environmental groups
fighting the state about land conservation funds filled an amendment to its
lawsuit to use the budget surplus to buy land buying land program.
State lawmakers
disregarded the voters that passed Amendment #1 last year properly fund
conservation land purchases suit called for the Florida legislature to use the
surplus to buy a conservation land program.
