FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) - Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis tackled water woes in South Florida during a visit in Fort Lauderdale.
The Florida governor announced several big changes Tuesday, including a recommendation to invest $625 million for Everglades restoration and the protection of water resources.
“So I think these are going to be very positive. I think it’s a historic commitment,” said DeSantis. “We have more to talk about with our environment budget, which we’ll roll out later in the week.”
Future plans include hiring a chief science officer, starting an algae task force and opposing offshore drilling.
