Tallahassee Report: We came, we lobbied — and we'll be back

VoteWater Executive Director Gil Smart was in the state capital of Tallahassee last week, speaking to key Florida legislators about clean-water issues and bills that are now under consideration in the state House and Senate.

It was a productive trip, but too late to stop some of the worst bills this session. Here's a rundown - and an explanation of how VoteWater hopes to play a bigger role in the legislative process next year. 

Our latest “Deep Dive” focuses on the millions being spent and earmarked for septic-to-sewer conversions; is this a game-changer — and is it worth the money?

Do you care about Florida's waters and have time to dedicate to protecting them? VoteWater is seeking candidates for the Board of Directors, with a particular interest in diversifying our board. If interested - or you know anyone who might be - email us at [email protected].
