The "cooless" ws emphsized durig ridelog o dy lst week tht cme complemeted with teeth-chtterig chill i the erly morig wids d hevy chop i the tides.

De deied y opportuity for public iput d temporrily postpoed the vote. Costello sys the vote ws postpoed becuse De kew tht he hd't secured the votes ecessry for pssge, d she ticiptes tht efforts re uder wy, eve ow, grer fvor for the bill. A similr chi of evets occurred with House Bill 42. the House Committee hd lso suddely postpoed the vote fter oppositio ws luched, but it ws tke bck up dys lter d pssed o the ext stge of the legisltive process for pprovl. Like HB42, SB 604 would prevet locl muiciplities from eforcig regultios ivolvig the overuse of fertilizers d pesticides, especilly durig the summer moths whe hevy ris flush ll those itroge d phosphorous eriched chemicls dow re wterwys d i the Gulf of Mexico where, critics sy, the cotmited ruoff cretes outbreks of lge blooms. They dd tht these blooms destroy fish d fudmetl ecosystems, d udermie ecoomic systems tht re eqully tied Florid hvig pristie wter coditios. SB 604 is posed med Sectio () of Florid Sttutes through the dditio of this text: A perso who possesses limited certifictio for urb ldscpe commercil fertilizer pplictio pursut this sectio is exempt from locl govermet ordices tht provide for the use, purchse, d pplictio of fertilizer urb turf, lw, d ldscpe. - It will dditiolly dds ew prgrph (8) Sectio tht reds: The deprtmet hs eforcemet uthority over professiols, who re certified uder this secdo, d ll pelties, fies, d dmiistrtive ctio tke by the deprtmet shll be cosistet with this chpter. Dehm hs summed it up s " ttempt pre-empt locl commuities from usig stdrds esure the itegrity of wterwys d costlies through cotrollig the use d pplictios of fertilizers which hve bee prove directly impct wter qulity." As Jmes Evs of Sibel Isld's Deprtmet of Nturl Resources puts it, "Those fertilizers mke for gree lws, but they lso mke for lot of gree slime i re wters." Some ie yers go, whe vst expse of slimy muck d red drift lge wshed shore severl feet deep o re beches log with the decyig remis of thousds upo thousds of ded fish, there were my who looked upo tht evet with o clue s how such could hppe. Tht evet prompted people like Mike d Muree Vliquette of Sibel Isld crete iititive kow s PURRE (People Uited Resre our Rivers d Esturies). Though PURRE hs sice closed, tht colitio creted this couty's first public forum d led the cmpig determie wht could hve trspired so drsticlly impir re wters. Durig tht period, Mike Vliquette, geerl cotrcr by trde, sys he ws dvised by some stte forces, "Cle up your ow bck yrd before you tell the rest of us wht do." I this cse, the bckyrd ws Sibel. It turs out, o oe fteroo, Vliquette observed commercil lw cre compy dispesig chemicls o eighborhood property. He wtched s the wter from the sprikler systems mixed with the chemicls d r i erby ctch bsi. This filled, d ultimtely proceeded ru i erby culvert where it lter pssed through dri d dumped i the wters just beyod sewll. Vliquette ok phos d from there, drove the discussio s why locl fertilizer ordices were ecessry. He sys Sibel ws the first commuity dopt restrictios, thks i lrge prt procols writte by Rob Lofli who heds the City's Deprtmet of Nturl Resources. "Wht he wrote ws so good tht it becme model for the rest of the stte," sid Vliquette. Lee Couty, s well s other commuities, wet o pprove similr fertilizer restrictios which, i their short term of pplictio, hve lredy idicted s beig helpful i mitigtig impct d svig Lee Couty millios of dollrs i svigs reltig cle-up costs. But ow, Vliquette sys, the stte seems posed " tke 0 steps bckwrd." "It is mzig if they llow this hppe... the Legislrs d Sete re givig i doors d lobbyists, isted of servig the Gret Stte of Florid... these bills threte our etire wy of life, our ecoomy, our property vlues d prevets locl commuities from tkig the ecessry steps protect our wter," Vliquette sid. Mewhile Cris Costello sys the bills re bsed o ide tht lw workers d griculturl idustries wo't mispply chemicls therei mkig their work sfe for Florid's wters. Tht rgumet ws effectively egted just prior the committee's coveig. As it turs out, durig lst week's ris which stretched Piells Couty, lw compy ws phogrphed reportedly pplyig chemicls durig the midst of the srm. "Despite iformtio i the Gree Idustries Best Mgemet Prctices Mul, despite the provisios of the locl ordice, despite bsic commo sese, these workers chose, i the fce of both lw d commo sese, pply lw fertilizer durig risrm," sid Costello. Though Dehm d Judh were uble spek, Costello sid their presece i Tllhssee ws importt. Costello sid, "Their ctios i the home districts, their pressure i the hlls, d their presece i the committee room ll cotributed" delyig the vote. For ow, it is ukow exctly whe, or if, the Sete Bill will be tke up gi. House Bill 42 hs lso yet be scheduled for delibertio by the Stte Affirs Committee. Costello, Dehm, Vliquette, like so my others, sy they will cotiue ifioir Stte ctio for wht will be other trip Tllhssee whe the momet requires. All cotiue ecourge re residets cotct legislrs by phoe, by emil, by persol cotct, spek gist pssge of these mesures. While Vliquette believes coiporte doors re ifluecig Sete d Legisltive ctios, he believes tht there is still greter ifluece wielded by voters. "They my liste little doors d lobbyists, but they will liste more their costituets," sid Vliquette. "They eed her from the people who put them i office, d do the right thig for Florid." R^.
