Over the years, anyone involved in Everglades restoration has alternately cheered and jeered the Miccosukee Tribe (unless, of course, they are on the tribe’s payroll). This is the latest (and to many Everglades advocates, most important) chapter in a long-running saga that seems beyond resolution.
As the newspaper industry continues to crumble all around us, as papers continue to slash staff and/or close down entirely, the burning question remains: During the time it takes to create a new sustainable model, who will cover your community, your local government, the people that fall between the cracks of society, the agencies and…Continue Reading…
