From Miami Herald
“It is rare today for both political parties to declare a bipartisan victory. However, two weeks ago, Greater Miami achieved a true bipartisan breakthrough that promises to deliver results for our region and a credible policy path for our country: FEMA has decided to downgrade flood risks for the Greater Miami area. This will trigger a long overdue correction to insurance premiums and validate the work done at the county and municipal levels and their leaders…The premise was simple and rooted in Florida’s history: We believe the environment is the economy, not an obstacle to the economy. From our River of Grass — the Everglades — to our beautiful beaches, our entire economy is built on the cleanliness of our water, the freshness of our air and the integral, natural beauty of our land.” |
