I guess everyone noticed the article today regarding Vulcan Materials and its intention to go forward with the Lease they have with US Sugar to mine rock.It is right smack in the heart of the Everglades restoration. Vulcan's attorney, Alan Ciklin (yes the very same Alan Ciklin with Boose, Casey Ciklin that the City of Lake Worth hires to fight its fights) says it is proceeding as if the State of Florida does not exist.
We are going to spend $1.3 billion to repair the Everglades and will have to work around a 7,000 acre rock mine if Ciklin gets his way. So much for the environment.
