Environmentalists double down, blast Gov. Scott for red tide
http://www.wctv.tv/content/news/Environmentalists-double-down-blasting-Gov-Scott-for-Red-Tide--490849841.htmlTALLAHASSEE, Fla. (CNS) -- More than two million pounds of dead and rotting fish have already been removed from Florida beaches.
While Nelson and Scott continue to point the finger at one another, environmentalists say Scott’s cuts to water management districts outweigh any actions by Nelson.
Scott touted the cuts as a success in 2011.
“I took action on the proposed budgets of Florida's five water management districts. All together these budgets reflect a reduction of more than $700 million dollars over last year,” Scott said in his weekly video update from August of that year.
“$700 million,” said Moncrief. "Those are the agencies that are responsible for making sure that pollution is under control.”
