The Problem, Florida
low Oxygen
Florida Fish &
Wildlife said it is the Oxygen
Taxpayers Question,
Why?
Florida has been
testing for better than five years!
AND
Why will it cost the
taxpayers another
$300.00 for yet another phony test?
Why not spend $0.25
for a glass
to dip into the runoff from chemicals
all along the shore
of the
"Indian River Lagoon
and from the
(SUGAR COMPANIES)!"

After an inquiry
from WESH 2 News, Florida Fish and Wildlife said several reports have come in
from residents about dead fish.
FWC issued a
statement on the recent fish kill. In part, it says, “This event is not
associated with the blue-green algae located in the southern part of the lagoon
earlier this summer."
Instead, FWC
believes recent kills have been caused by naturally occurring low dissolved
oxygen.
In a different
statement, FWC said it's been testing waters weekly at eight different sites.
The recent kills could be caused by something else.
Earlier this month,
county commissioners decided to place a property and sales tax hike plan on the
November ballot.
The plan attempts to
raise $300 million over 10 years to clean up the lagoon.
