I know what it is....I question whether the online news knows.

Why use a real live copy editor when you have "auto correct"?

I detest autocorrect, but it can be funny at times.

It looks like they must have caught it, CW. It seems like proofreading the old-fashioned way has gone by the wayside. Sure can't trust spellcheck and autocorrect to be our friends.............

Frankly, even though I am not a geologist, I cannot imagine how anyone could ever agree to or want to frack Florida........although sometimes I do feel like I am living in a Carl Hiaasen novel.

I hope this works better than the permitting of pumping water from the aquifer.

I thought we were killing the planet because we were driving cars?

Whom is she representing? The owners in this area or big oil? Ask Oklahomans how much they like the earthquakes out there. Let's see, we are built on top of ancient coral reefs (limestone), already subject to sudden sink holes and now we're think it's a great idea to let water companies take millions of gallons of water out from under us and then we want to frack the limestone too. What could possibly go wrong?!

Elected government officials always represent their constituents.
Always. Not always. Sometimes. When convenient. Never.
Pick one answer from above.

Did anyone read the bill?:
Regulation of Oil and Gas Resources: Preempts to the state regulation of matters relating to exploration, development, production, processing, storage, & transportation of oil & gas after specified date; revises DEP rulemaking authority; prohibits department from issuing permits for high-pressure well stimulation until rules and study on the issue are completed; deletes provisions requiring Division of Resource Management to get certain approval from municipal governing bodies; requires division to consider additional criteria when issuing permits; requires DEP to conduct study; requires applicants & operators to provide surety; increases maximum amount for civil penalties; requires DEP to designate national chemical registry as state's registry; requires service providers, vendors, & well owners or operators to report certain information to DEP; requires DEP to report certain information to registry; provides appropriation.
Effective Date: July 1, 2016 Florida House of Representatives - CS/HB 191 - Regulation of Oil and Gas Resources
It's not a bad bill.Seems like we don't have protection from fracking now.

I detest conversations about fracking, climate change, abortion sexual preferences, race etc because they are all very emotional, quite divisive and suffer myopia by adherents. meaning they will never be settled. Reasonable minds can come to agreement but these are not reasonable times

i also hate self appointed English teachers. So I misuse or misspell a word once in a while so what my mind and body are not what it once was. At this age I'll do as I please and that goes for golf too. Sometimes when playing an executive course I just give myself an 18. I deserve I and it hurts no one
