Episode 22: November / December Editorial Board

In this episode, a Patrick-less Florida Specifier editorial board is back in the lead up to the holiday season to discuss the November/December issue of the Specifier.  They provide a rundown on the post-election leadership changes at the state level and what that may mean for the upcoming legislative session; give their best predictions on the fate of 404 wetland permitting assumption and Waters of the U.S. policy and legal wrangling under a new federal administration; celebrate the 75th anniversary of the South Florida Water Management District; recognize Commissioner Wilton Simpson’s full-court press to expedite the federal government’s response to a disastrous hurricane season for Florida’s farmers; and cover the upcoming AIF Water Forum’s push to provide education and tools for the newest members of the Florida Legislature.   To read the Specifier online (where we hope you’ll subscribe if you haven’t already), go here: https://floridaspecifier.com To get the word out about how you’re making waves (pun intended) in Florida’s environmental world whether it’s in the paper or the podcast, make sure you reach out to Brett, Ryan, Patrick, or Jamie at:  [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] If you’d like to advertise in Florida’s premier environmental news periodical, please reach out to Jamie or Patrick here: [email protected] [email protected] If you’re a subscriber and aren’t receiving the Florida’s Specifier’s weekly newsletter every Monday morning, please let Patrick or Jamie know, and they will make sure you get it.  To read the Specifier online (where we hope you’ll become a subscriber if you aren’t already), go here: https://floridaspecifier.com A huge thank you goes out to Bagels and Biscuits for giving permission to use their music for the podcast.
