Oh well, this makes for a great discussion.
"...that will allow new roads in the state to be built with “radioactive” mining waste that has been linked to cancer." I wonder if this will cause health issues equal to or any more than the water we drink, sodas, alcohol, preservatives in our food, construction materials, automotive fuels, plastics used as food containers, etc. Seems to me that folks are living longer than ever, which many exceeding a hundred years. Surprising how anyone lives as long as they do with all this STRESS they contend with.

Good point. Let's check with the EPA: On June 30, 2021, the EPA withdrew previously granted conditional approval to use phosphogypsum in government road construction projects. It looks like the answer, at least as of two years ago, is no, they don't allow this dangerous material to be used.
Not sure how the State of Florida intends to get around this but <insert political comment here>
