Use science, not politics on state's water emergencies

Use science, not politics on state's water emergencies

Nat Reed points out opportunities for the South Florida Water Management District's new board members in this article in the Palm Beach Post. This is certainly an accurate overview of the challenges faced by the new board on many fronts. Mr. Reed addresses the fact that the District needs to restore the partnership between the state and the federal government. This partnership was built over years of negotiation and effort but since the year 2000 has been largely dismantled. I agree with and respect Mr. Reed's view. Hopefully the new board will too.
