Eva Webb is the incumbent for the Palm Beach Soil & Water Conservation District Group 5 and she is up for re-election. She has been in this volunteer position that pays NO salary for 12 years. She works for the Florida Farm Bureau that works directly with farmers on best practices. Her opponent has a dry cleaning business and has NO experience in this field...his platform is more transparency.
Eva says, “We don’t go out and make a living fixing sprinkler heads, that’s not what we do. We’re not making money selling anything. We work with municipalities, and we have actually been asked by the South Florida Water Management District to assess their water [sprinkler] use. No one else does what we do in the county.” The district also works with the county on the management of county-owned land.
“The land that the county leases out for farming, we work with growers to make sure they are involved with and utilizing best management practices so that they are not contributing to nutrients and reducing water runoff,” Webb said. “I don’t believe that anyone else can do what we do for what we do it for. It’s very cost-effective, and part of the reason for that is none of the supervisors are paid.”
Vote for Eva Webb
Palm Beach Soil & Water Conservation District Group 5.
