emphasizes the following priorities:   

·        Restoring reasonable funding for Florida’s regional water management districts to provide for water quality protection, adequate water supplies, flood protection, and natural resources protection.

·        Funding Florida Forever including acquiring land for water resource protection.

·        Reaffirming Florida’s commitment to restore the Everglades, upon which South Florida’s water supply and quality of life depends.

·        Managing Florida’s water resources at the regional, not state level.

·        Ensuring that growth management laws and policies support sustainable use of water.

·        Promoting efficient use and conservation of water.

·        Opposing efforts to privatize Florida’s water.
