Florida Water Districts Can Be Replaced by Private Concerns | James Pat Guerréro

Truly wasting money, water districts in Florida do not govern well and are just an arm of “environmental friendly contractors.” The time has come to let them go. Water districts think they have a great task before them. But this task was closely engineered over time. It’s called a make-work program. Besides, it’s not like the water districts are essential. They don’t break the law of neighborhood effects. The law of neighborhood effects says that no other entity could do as good a job as the water districts. There are private concerns that could do a good job more efficiently and less costly than the public sector. It’s a start that the current Florida legislature reduced the water districts’ budget by 30%. Hopefully, it will continue to be reduced over the next and continuing legislative cycles.

The water districts aim to balance flood control and water conservation on some undefined goals, costs, and benefits.
