Our future lies in Representative Southerland overcoming the politics and including the Freshwater Flows language in the House WRDA bill.
Bill Nelson
The Public Record
Bill Nelson is an American politician and attorney who served as a United States Senator from Florida from 2001 to 2019. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously represented Florida's 9th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1993 to 2001. Nelson also held the position of Florida's Insurance Commissioner from 1995 to 1999, where he focused on consumer protection and insurance reform.
I look forward to working with Florida's Congressional delegation, Senators, and all relevant parties to find a long-term solution to this issue.
When we get into the questions, we want to get past the process and we want to get into some of the solutions.
the freshwater flows provision in S. 601, developed and filed by you, Senator Nelson, would provide clear direction
United States Senators from Florida Honorable Marco Rubio and Honorable Bill Nelson will hold a congressional field hearing to examine the lack of freshwater flow down to Apalachicola Bay.
this is the kind of stuff that we have been hearing for years as we have been trying to solve this problem.
So give us an example, then, where you say that you have to consider that, then the fact that there is less freshwater flowing south, what do you do about that if this species is threatened?
the current water policies are not working, and especially they are not working for Florida.
