Pour mea drink

-

Call me crazy, but we all know there are droughts all over the world. And herein water-blessed Florida, with the largest aquifer in the world, we are sending millions of gallons to the ocean daily down our canals and another million or so into deep-well injection sites.

We need a different plan. We are wasting a precious resource. This practice is not sustainabl­e.

How about pumping the canal sand trucking or shipping it to folks who need it or even build another pipeline, only for water? Maybe the oil companies would help.

We just had one of the worst flooding events in our history, and there will be more. We need to think way out of the box. The water needs a place togo and lots of folks want it.

Wecould, and may be should, purify it, but we could let others do that too. We could fill our own aquifer though if it was clean. This would allow us to build some resiliency in our water supply.

Something has to change. Throwing it away everyday is just not right. Tiffany Grantham, Hollywood

Minutes fromthe last pre-election meeting of the radical left

I call to order this meeting of the radical left. Our mission for the 2020 election is to create chaos by fraudulent voting in order to ensure that President Trump is defeated. But let’ s make sure Mitch McConnell,and others retain their Senate seats and create an early impossible runoff situation for our party in Georgia. Oh, and let’ s lose some House seats as well so as not to appear too obvious in our efforts to dominate. Do I hear any hell yeahs ?! Now, go out and get‘em! Alex Jimenez, Winter Park

We need a little less Trump, a littlemore democracy fromour leaders

I find it humiliatin­g that the top Republican officials in Florida, including Gov. Des anti sand senators Rub io and Scott, have their wagons hitched so tight to Donald Trump that they are willing to agree with him that there has been huge fraud and cheating in the elections in our country. Gov. Des ant is went so far as to suggest electors should set aside the vote of the people and give electoral votes to Donald Trump. I am sure these are the kind of tactics found in the first chapter of “How to end a democracy and bring in a dictator .”

Shame on all of you. Carol Foster, Pompano Beach He went to Jared?! Why?

We read the public relations-driven article t outing Jared Mosk ow itz for Presidentw­ith in credible dismay .[“Florida’ s Jared Mosk ow itza possibilit­y for FE MA post ?,” Nov .9] Really? Many suggest Florida’ s C OVID numbers have been tamped down, mis reported and hidden. Florida’ s governor advocates a herd-immunity, head-in-thes and approach, unlike the science-based responses by governors Pritz ker in Illinois and Cu o mo in New York. That Florida lacks a coordinate­d statewide mask requiremen­t is a supreme joke. Locally, South Floridians have been asked to navigate through a never-changing patch work of state, county and municipal emergency orders that leave HO As and condominiu­m associatio­ns abandoned and unsure of their own responsibi­lities toward their residents. Sure, if you want to template Florida’ s mess across our great nation, let’ s consider promoting someone who stands as one of its architects. David Weiss, Plantation
