On Senate Floor Rubio Continues To Push For Vital Everglades Restoration Project

U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) filed an amendment to the Energy and Water Appropriations Act that would authorize the Central Everglades Planning Project (CEPP), and reiterated the importance of its authorization on the Senate floor.

Rubio is a longtime advocate for the restoration project, which would allow 70 billion gallons of water to be sent south to protect the ecology and economy of three major estuaries. He supported its authorization in 2014 and has continued to push for the project’s final approval.
