Is Florida About to Come to A Screeching Halt?
Due to a Miami federal court's ruling, the supply of rock so important to meeting Florida's growing transportation and housing needs is in serious jeopardy. A shut-down of Lake Belt mining in Miami-Dade would have a disastrous effect on ALL of Florida.
However well-intentioned, this possible federal judicial action could:
- make the driving experience WORSE for most folks,
- make already-skyrocketing housing costs INCREASE further,
- needlessly make traveling on Florida’s highways LESS SAFE, and
- threaten the very JOBS of thousands of hard-working Floridians!
We Think Florida Should Keep On Rockin!
To help publicize the transportation and economic implications of a possible shut-down on Lake Belt mining, Floridians for Better Transportation (FBT) has formed the “Keep Florida Rockin!” Coalition. This statewide business and transportation coalition:
- supports Florida's economy and transportation needs,
- understands the importance of Lake Belt mining, and
- wants to encourage the federal court to make the right decision for Florida's future.
