Under whose control?
To the editor:
July 18, 2001 an agreement was signed between U.S. Dept of the Interior and Fish & Wildlife and Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission. Agencies like Dept of Natural Resources, Florida Game & Fresh Water Fish Commission were abolished and incorporated into Florida Dept of Environmental Protection which now possesses the authority and jurisdiction over (their) presumptions of endangered and threatened species, fish, and marine environments, ecological, educational, scientific, and economic and any other values. This is in compliance with various treaties and conventions and to maintain national and international standards.
To shove agencies under the same umbrella makes easier control in a takeover by a more powerful entity with willing accomplices.
Enter health “care.” Education loans, health, drugs and much more are included in this package. Do you honestly think the intention is to remain under the control of the bankrupt U.S. Government?
