    As the parents of four daughters, Susan and I extend our thoughts and prayers to the families of the victims of today’s tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. May God be with them during this time of incredible sadness.

    The EPA today approved Florida’s numeric nutrient criteria standards for water quality. Florida should come first when setting water quality standards in our state. That said, the EPA’s decision to issue new proposed federal rules reminds us of the need to remain vigilant of the impact that more Washington regulation would have on Florida agriculture, small businesses, and hardworking families.
