I just got this from Andrea, is this good news or what.... Thank you everybody especially Andrea..... Dave
THANK YOU ALL! This message from John Byrd, Fred Brummer’s legislative aide, confirms that Governor Crist did not veto Line Item 471 and the DOH cannot move forward on their rule making – for now. This is such good news! Take a breath!!!! As long as we are in an e-mailing habit, please send a personal note of thanks to any or all of those listed in our last Sludge Report who worked so long and hard over this. Perhaps one to Gov. Crist is in order as well. Maybe it will encourage him to keep his eye on the Department of Health over the next year.
We will still need to keep an eye on things, and our continue our relationships with so many good people involved in this battle. Representatives of the existing network of HOA’s will also continue to contact other homeowner associations and try to solidify those relationships so that when the next legislative session convenes, we are fully prepared to address any re-introduction of this issue by Senator Constantine or the DOH.
That’s all for now, except to tell you again, thank you for being so incredibly involved.
Andrea

Subject: Governor Crist Signs Budget: Line Item 471 Remains in Budget
27 May 2009
Greetings:
It is with great pleasure and gratitude that we have learned that line item 471 remains in the State Budget for Fiscal Year 2009-2010. Commissioner Brummer and I want to thank everyone who has been involved in this effort to keep line item 471 in the budget for the upcoming fiscal year.
This should ensure that no administrative rulemaking for nitrogen reduction by a state executive branch agency will occur until no sooner than 1 July 2010.
Sincerely,
John Byrd, Aide,
Orange County Commissioner Frederick C. Brummer
