Yeah and now Wink News is slamming the C.O.E. for choosing to protect the rare endangered Cara Cara over the rights of Johnny Yankee to LOOK at non brown water.  They reported boat sales are crashing and Betty Snowbird wont let her hubby Elmer take his boat out in the toxic sludge. SO now he wont trade his great lakes boat in for bay boat and dealers are going under left and right. Bull$&*! This entire ordeal is just like Kevin Spacey was quoted as saying the other day. When you make news into entertainment, its no longer news, its make believe.

The excess flood waters from the sugar fields and other agricultural should be contained on the farm property until it has been cleaned in their own marshes.

It is their problem and they should foot the bill and not dump it onto state and public canals.

Big sugar has been sending its fertilizer water into the lake during the wet years since the lake was constructed.

They also pull the needed water  from the lake for irrigation during drought years at the expense of the need for some outflow east, south, and west.

IMHO, the agricultural farms south of the lake should all be closed and the natural north to south marsh flood plain flow should be restored.

The establishment and political favors will never allow it. This has been kicked around for 40 years and nothing has changed.
