Everglades funding veto overridden

In the previous blog post I discussed President Bush's threatened veto of a water bill that include $345 million for road removal/hydrologic restoration in the Everglades.

The President did veto the bill, and today, the congress overrode that veto. This is the first veto by this president that's been overridden by Congress. Everglades restoration and Hurricane Katrina cleanup were two of the reasons - and they're both good reasons.

We're looking forward to checking out that Everglades restoration once it's underway, and to seeing the Picayune Strand restored!
