Tell the Legislature: Don't Pave Florida

CIVIC Concern members are joining Progress Florida and other organizations in a letter to the legislature urging them to oppose proposals that would weaken Florida's growth management process and make it easier to drain wetlands. Opponents of the proposals say the changes would endanger Florida's environment and quality of life.

The Petition

Dear Legislators,

As concerned Floridians, we call on you to reject PCB GAAC 09-04 and SB 730, which would dismantle the state’s growth management agency, the Department of Community Affairs (DCA).

At a time when an estimated 300,000 homes are sitting vacant, and with more foreclosures happening every day, the last thing we should be focused on is promoting more unsustainable development and sprawl. These reckless proposals demonstrate that deep-pocketed developers will stop at nothing to pave over what remains of our beautiful state.

Please stand up to the big-money special interest lobbyists who are using the current fiscal crisis as an excuse to dismantle our environmental protections.

Signed,
