Environmentalists plan to hold rallies across Florida this weekend, again calling on lawmakers to boost the amount of money for land acquisition, Everglades restoration and natural-springs protection.
Supporters of the 2014 ballot initiative known as “Amendment 1″ have announced 10 locations—Bradenton, Fort Myers, Jacksonville, Melbourne, Miami, Ocala, Orlando, Sarasota County, Stuart and Tampa—where they intend to hold rallies Saturday. That is two days before lawmakers start a special legislative session to negotiate a budget.
