everglades. voters in florida overwhelmingly passed a constitutional amendment to dedicate a portion of the documentary stamp tax to land acquisition for environmental projects. that's why florida is so sensitive to the environment. the voters voted upon themselves an increase in the documentary stamp tax but what has happened is that the government of the state of florida hasn't been using that money for what the people intended when they voted in a referendum. instead of using that money as it was intended, the state of florida has tried to divert it to other purposes such as filling in budget shortages or employees' salaries or other unrelated to the environment expenses and now we've got suits. it's tied up in litigation. it's further distracting from the overall goal of restoring the everglades. the federal government should take the lead and do what's right. we should move forward and fully fund the only ongoing everglades restoration projects. and we also need to get the u.s. house of representatives to pass the harmful algal bloom reauthorization bill, which was introduced by this senator. the
