I was reading that while sugar farming in south-central Florida accounts for less than .2% of all agriculture in the USA (that's less than 002%) the sugar lobby accounts for almost half of the total political contributions paid to politicians by the entire agriculture industry. Talk about being bought and paid for.

Red Tide - Statewide Status not sure if this link will work but shows where the red tide is . Weather it’s accurate or not I guess it would be better answered by someone local .
