					<description><![CDATA[Last September, Governor Rick Scott ordered new public notification rules following the sewage spill in St. Petersburg and Mosaic&#8217;s sinkhole in Mulberry the sent toxins in the drinking-water supply. He did so after a lack of notice occurred regarding incidents in St. Petersburg and at the company&#8217;s phosphate processing plant in Mulberry. However, a judge threw out the order in late December, saying that such a law must come from the Legislature. Hence the announcement today of SB 532 from Manatee County GOP state Senator Bill&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I just watched about the billionth TV ad for the Senate District 18 race with Dana Young and Bob Buesing. I thought the one she ran in the primary with all the adorable puppies couldn’t be topped, but she outdid herself this time. This one features her two daughters defending their mom against all the nasty things the pro-Buesing forces supposedly have said. That was sweet. I mean, who doesn’t love a tight-knit family? But something wasn’t adding up. Dana&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Sierra Club and the Gay &#38; Lesbian Victory Fund have accused state Rep. Kathleen Peters of hypocrisy in her recent call for public notice of contamination. Peters’ proposed legislation, they say, is just a Band-Aid for a deeper problem and does nothing to hold polluters accountable. In addition, the two groups say Peters has accepted thousands in donations from Mosaic and the oil and gas industry. The organizations’ charges come in the wake of Peters’ recent announcement that she&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I think we have one of our first major campaign issues for the 2018 race to succeed Rick Scott as Florida’s governor. Any serious candidate who doesn’t come out strongly in favor seriously beefing up the state Department of Environmental Protection will miss a great opportunity. In just the last couple of months alone, an understaffed and likely overwhelmed DEP has had to deal with the algae bloom that threatened to trash summer tourism in Stuart and surrounding areas.

					<description><![CDATA[Neighbors of a huge sinkhole sending cascades of contaminated water and fertilizer plant waste into Florida&#8217;s main drinking-water aquifer are fearful and fuming that it took weeks for them to be notified about the disaster. Many are still waiting anxiously for results from tests for radiation and toxic chemicals in their well water. Meanwhile, the Mosaic Co. &#8211; one of the world&#8217;s largest producers of phosphate and potash for fertilizer &#8211; acknowledged Wednesday that the contamination had spread to groundwater&#8230;]]></description>
