Environmentalists are celebrating yesterday’s ruling by the Florida Supreme Court that says Governor Rick Scott can’t suspend rulemaking. Now more rules guiding Everglades restoration can be produced. Eric Draper, Executive Director of Audubon of Florida says since Scott’s freeze, protecting the Everglades has been a challenge.

“The court decision means that we are going to be able to move forward with a rule that will protect the flow of fresh water into Biscayne Bay and other parts of the Everglades system,” said Draper.

Draper is asking the South Florida Water Management District to move forward with the water protection rule as fast as possible.
