You mean east of the western border of the glades? All of the glade should be in S. Florida, don't you think? This way South Florida has it for a water source, and North Florida gets to keep the water from its springs, rivers and lakes.

No but what needs to happen is to change the state legislature to mirror the structure of DC's Congress.

One or two state Senators from each county and a population representation in the state House.

That would prevent the large population cities from controlling the state and allow a fair representation of the people who live in the outskirts of the cities having their voices heard.

So Liberty county with 8,000 would have the same senate votes as Miami-Dade county with 3.5 MILLION!?!?!?! Fat chance. The legislature is already skewed to the ultra conservatives anyway.

I'm tellin' ya, ComSense, South Florida wants our water, I can just smell it coming. They refuse to control the growth and resource use, just wait until the salt water starts running from the taps.
