Well, the opposition to the water withdrawal proposals in Central Florida is mounting. Here is a current list of all of the groups, organizations, and government entities that have passed resolutions opposing the drawdown. If you are a member of a civic/business group, please ask them to consider a resolution, as well. We will need significant support to stop these withdrawals from taking place.

Good information to know! I was looking for news on the opposition, and it's great to know so many organizations are behind it.
It’s also great to see that you guys have a blog. It did take me a while to find it, though, and I've also noticed there aren't many (if any) comments on the posts. May I make a few suggestions?
Firstly, the links to the blog on the front page of the main website aren't very obvious; maybe the blog would be more visible if it had a link in the navigation bar at the top.
Also, at the moment this blog is set so that anonymous comments are not allowed. Perhaps there would be more participants if they were. (To reduce spam you can set it so that comments are moderated. In fact, if you decided to do this and needed someone to moderate them, I would be glad to help.)
I'm sorry if this is presumptuous of me. It's just that I think this blog has great potential to get the word out about the latest news to do with the St. Johns, and fill the gap between the newsletters, calendar, and other information on the main site.
Thanks for listening!
