Manatee Supporters: We Need Your Help!
Please Ask Governor Crist to Put Florida Forever Funding in His Budget!
The Issue:
In 2008, the Florida Legislature passed legislation that was signed into law by Governor Charlie Crist, approving $300 million annually for the next 10 years to fund Florida Forever. Unfortunately, despite this legislative authorization, no money was allocated to Florida Forever during the 2009 legislative session for fiscal year 2009-2010. With your help, we’re hoping to get Florida Forever back in the governor’s budget for 2010-2011.
A very small appropriation can ensure the following: that Florida Forever will continue, that landowners will be able to negotiate with the state in full faith, and that the most critical pieces of wild Florida will continue to be protected. A commitment of $15 million from the governor (a mere 0.0002% of his $66 billion budget), would allow the state to borrow up to $300 million to allow Florida Forever to continue protecting Florida’s wild places.
A commitment of only $5 million would allow the state to borrow up to $100 million for Florida Forever. With land prices down, there has never been a better time to purchase conservation land in Florida and we need to take advantage of this opportunity!
