Florida's new governor said he's delivering on one of the biggest promises he made during the campaign: cleaning up Florida's water quality.Gov. Ron DeSantis traveled the state on Thursday to outline a program, he claims, will help get rid of damaging red tide and prevent it in the future.During the governor's race, DeSantis, a Republican, boarded a boat, toured areas of environmental crisis with algae and red tide, and vowed he would fix the problem.Now, just days after being sworn in, the former congressman is putting his money where his mouth is, signing an executive order to come up with billions of dollars from the state's tourism promotion budget to help stop the cause of the outbreaks: a combination of industrial and agricultural pollution and desperately-needed upgrades to the reservoir that filters Everglades run-off."This is a fight we need to take, and I wanted us to be on more of a war footing on this and have a sense of urgency, and so I think that is what today's executive action really shows," DeSantis said.Key components of the new water policy look like this: Everglades restoration at $2.5 billion, establishment of a Blue-Green Algae Task Force, and an Office of Environmental Accountability and Transparency. DeSantis also wants to appoint a chief science officer in the Department of Environmental Protection.That's important.Under former Gov. Rick Scott, most of the core team of science officers who used to help regional water districts monitor and protect our water resources were let go. Scott also eliminated the Department of Community Affairs, which had the job of managing growth that can threaten water supplies.DeSantis promises he was committed to cleaning up our water quality, and it starts now."This is not just going to be an issue we put out there. It's going to be one of our priorities," DeSantis said.WESH 2 News asked the Office of Gov. DeSantis if he would reinstate the growth management agency that was cut by former Gov. Scott. WESH 2 News also asked if the new administration would step up enforcement, with penalties, against big corporate polluters.We're still waiting for those answers.
