There are at least a dozen reasons why our system of laws has failed.
Listen also to the experienced, insightful Voices of Florida, united in the position that what we’ve been doing isn’t working. Florida needs this constitutional amendment.
It has become clear that the current system of water protection is inadequate. The state executive branch is not enforcing clean water legislation according to environmental laws, legislative intent and constitutional policy. (Link goes to a Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility report on Florida’s enforcement.)
The proof of dysfunction frequently makes national news, with routine harmful algal blooms, fish and wildlife mortality events and public notices of pathogenic or toxic contamination of our waters. It’s not okay. People suffer, wildlife suffers, property values suffer, businesses suffer, communities suffer. Waiting for political solutions in a system that appears to favor pollution industries (financing those politics) – seems to be a fool’s game. We need a clear, simple, legal solution to restore the necessary checks and balances for such a critical necessity to all lives and liberty interests – clean water.
