Biscayne Bay is hundreds of square miles in area.
Meanwhile, Key Biscayne is barely over a square mile area.
Millions of people live in Dade County, and hundreds of thousands live on the shores of Biscayne Bay.
Whereas, Key Biscayne holds 14,000 people.
Meanwhile they have one of the strongest tax bases in the county and it has only gone up, up, and up in recent years. They're now at $11.6 Billion.
So why is Key Biscayne claiming millions of dollars of Biscayne Bay restoration funding from the State of Florida, which has allotted $20 million dollars for Bay restoration.
And, are they even spending it on Bay restoration, or are they doing island infrastructure, and stupidity-amelioration for poor planning, that they should really be paying for themselves?
Something fishy is going on, but with the way the money is going, there's gonna be another fish kill algae bloom and seaweed wave in the not too distant future, and any money wasted on vanity projects for rich people who just got here and don't understand the environment are gonna mess things up for way more people than they know, which they won't care about, and themselves, which is their main interest.
The work of Biscayne Bay restoration is going to necessarily involve the efforts of the mass population through actual work distributed like nodes across a network, not a few fat cats in a central committee deciding how to spend it on themselves, and charging people for license plates to make themselves feel better about it.
How will the license plate money be spent? It sounds like a grift, it looks like a scam, and it smells worse than a hot day in a mangrove forest at low tide.
