I agree, we should dig them out again, once more. However, not until the debt ceiling is removed and that gop nonsense is done with.....even when Dems control Congress.

I lived in Estero, Lee County for 6 years. Left in 2016 mainly because the red politics, racism and traffic became impossible. It was a bad choice for us.

The government sponsored pollution from big Scott donors was despicable. Fertilizer from the sugar cane growers washed into Lake Okeechobee, and from there to both coasts and the Everglades during rainy season. Snakes with 3 eyes, green algae in the gulf, loss of Manatees food sources in the Caloosahatchee River. All so Scott could pocket millions and hunt with his polluting pals at their TX ranches. Of course, the FL legislature thought that was just fine, nothing to see here.

After sugar cane harvest, the stalks are burned, tens of thousands of acres. Black smoke fills the air. But, the workers are mostly Hispanic so who cares!

I don't know how any liberal can live on the west coast, or panhandle of Flori-duh. So, "southernomics" to achieve political objectives is just fine with me.
