I wholeheartedly agree with your outrage about the earlier attempt by DeSantis and his administration to build golf courses, pickleball courts, and hotels in Florida state parks.
But I am curious why you remain a lifelong Republican when it is Republicans who were wanting to make those changes.
Republicans were elected/re-elected up and down the board in Pasco County this past November, from State Senators, State Representatives, and County Commissioners; they are the ones who consistently vote to allow the ongoing overdevelopment of Pasco County rural areas, which apparently contributed to your pastures being flooded. One state senator even proposed last year to prohibit local authorities from adopting regulations or policies to control water quality, pollution, pollutant discharge prevention or removal, and wetlands protection.
IMO it seems that Florida Republicans aren't listening to or looking after your own best interests -- or really the interests of anyone who is concerned about pollution, water and air quality, and all the rampant development with little regard for the environmental impact. Today's Republican Party is not what it was in years past. Just my two cents.
