Commissioner of Agriculture Adam H. Putnam today issued the following statement regarding the U.S. Supreme Court “water war” decision:
“After a raging wildfire destroyed the homes and livelihoods of dozens of families this weekend, the Apalachicola Bay community needed some good news. Today’s Supreme Court decision is a victory for Floridians. For decades, we’ve fought on every front to save Apalachicola Bay and the history, culture and economy it supports. We’ll continue to fight for Apalachicola Bay and the livelihoods of those who depend on it.”
