Glades' Majesty Forever
Dimmed
No Plan Promises Full Restoration
All of the nation's engineering and scientific might and $7.8
billion won't be able to put the River of Grass back together again.
The team of government scientists and engineers that
drew up the proposed 3,500-page federal restoration plan for the Everglades learned
this lesson the hard way. As their two years of work wound down this summer,
the team managed only in their last few days to devise a scheme that would
not be scored a failure for the environment.

GORE TO UNVEIL BLUEPRINT FOR RESCUING EVERGLADES
$7.8 BILLION PLAN TO SUPPLY FRESH WATER
After years of planning, the federal government goes public
today with its $7.8 billion blueprint for rescuing the Everglades and supplying
South Floridians with fresh water for the next half century.
Vice President Al Gore will unveil the proposal during his
visit to South Florida -- and launch public meetings, arguments and political
maneuvering that will last until the 3,500-page report goes to Congress
for approval next summer.
