They are the greatest allies anyone could hope to have in shaping the state's future. Here's why.

Regulatory Issues Today's regulatory climate evolved from a need to protect public health, safety and welfare and the environment. The result has been thousands of rules, which are enormously time consuming ... to comply with and enforce ... and cost businesses, government and taxpayers billions of dollars each year. Unfortunately, some rules and regulations do not always have their desired effect. Several creative alternatives are now being explored. Here's the latest information on these efforts.
Endangered Species Links to the best sites on the Internet describing the Florida panther, manatee and other endangered species that are found only in Florida.

But a bitter debate rages: what really is happening to the Everglades? Perhaps the biggest challenge is sorting out fact from all the emotion & guesswork.
