Bill Nelson actually said...

"All those hundreds and thousands of dead fish due to the red tide and algae bloom decided not to go alone. They've taken all my business along with them."

"We want to secure funding for research on the algae blooms and the projects to restore things like the River of Grass."

"As we act at the Federal level to restore and try to clean up the environment, the state--the states--have to do their part, because states are invested with the responsibility of water quality."

"Let's get the House off the dime to pass exactly what you said, Mr. Chairman."
