It's called a drought. It's cyclical, it's happened before it will happen again.
Conserve, pay attention to waste, be logical, all will be fine.

When is that desalinization plant going to start paying off?
Sure can't use Everglades, big sugar messed it up, didn't pay for fix, and Charlie went to DC to try to hustle money from the taxpayers to fix it instead.
Gee, I thought CONSERVATIVES were supposed to actually CONSERVE.

We could pray for rain or hurricane. Faith based "accountability." Just say oopsie, I'm sorry, and leave mess for the poor taxpayers, again.

Rouson Endorsed
By Peterman
For House Seat
ST. PETERSBURG -- Darryl Rouson, right, a candidate for the Florida House, was Friday endorsed by State Rep. Frank Peterman who said Rouson will bring "bold and creative leadership" to the District 55 seat.
Peterman, D-St.Petersburg, 45, has served the south St. Petersburg district that covers parts of four counties for almost eight years. He is leaving to serve as the Secretary of the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice.
"With pride and determination, compassion and courage, I have sought to make change,” said Peterman. “I know Darryl Rouson will do the same."
Rouson, 52, a lawyer and a Democrat, has been active in community and civic affairs. He is past president of the local NAACP and currently serves on the state Tax and Budget Reform Commission.
A special election will be held on March 25 for the seat that includes parts of Pinellas, Manatee, Sarasota and Hillsborough counties.
