Florida’s Solution To Toxic Algae Blooms? Ease The Rules on Water Pollution

The Florida Environmental Regulation Commission has voted to ease the regulations on water safety standards for The Sunshine State, increasing the allowable limits on at least 20 toxic chemicals in our waters. Some of these chemicals are known carcinogens, and this vote came during the worst algae bloom in the state’s recent history. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

That’s what’s at stake in November. Do we really want republicans like those running the state of Florida that are willing to destroy our water even more so corporations don’t have to regulate themselves? Is that we want in Washington? Is this what we want to happen all over this country? That’s what’s at stake. That’s exactly what would happen with a Donald Trump presidency.

1. Ahh....FloriDUH

Whenever I see threads like these on DU, I just always recall the nasty pushback we got when we wanted Charlie Crist as governor. Instead of focusing on evil Scott, DU seemed more concerned about not voting for, former Republican, Charlie Crist. Welp, the DU complainers got what they wanted. Charlie Crist was defeated.

Moral: Vote Republican in Florida, you end up drinking up toxic algae water.

3. When will people learn?

This is always the result of Republican control of a state.

Kansas is a hollowed out shell broken by a fanatic republican cabal.

Michigan's republican's poisoned every man, woman and child in Flint to save a buck.

When will they learn???

4. Exactly

They live in misery and blame the "libruls" in Washington and never wake up to the fact that unregulated capitalism does not solve everything like they thought.

6. But Fox news said....and Rush....

Maybe you will wake up before its totally destroyed...maybe.

5. We got the gub'ment we deserve

If I remember correctly in the last gubernatorial election only 18% of the Floridians voted.. That's sad... So if you don't vote you get what you deserve.... crap...

7. 18%?

That is so sickening. And of course the republicans are trying to drive that pathetic number even lower with voter suppression laws.

Thanks SCOTUS!

8. Rick Scott, one of the top 5 worst govenors

doesn't believe in climate change, in fact his people are told not even to say the words.
doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself,trumpish
He refused medicade expansion, leaving 1/4 of population w/o health ins. We only trail TX in uninsured,that is where he came from.

All this while he stole from medicare. He was founder & CEO of Columbia HCA. He paid the largest medicare fraud fines in US history
1.7 Billion, that is billion with a B. But sadly, he didn't go to jail & can prey on Florida citizens.

WE ELECTED THIS CROOK !!!!!TWICE!!!!!
A proven thief!

This is why TRUMP scares he, if FL can elect Scott, can the country elect Trump, another proven ripoff artist???????

9. Just like every other state controlled by Republicans.

Exactly WHY do even stupid people keep electing them?
