Florida governor’s betrayal of clean water promise reaches peak with biosolids veto

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis vetoed House Bill 1245, which aimed to regulate the uncontrolled dumping of Class AA biosolids (treated sewage sludge) on farmers' fields. The bill sought to address water pollution linked to nutrient-rich biosolids, which contribute to blue-green algae blooms. The veto perpetuates unregulated disposal practices despite concerns over pollutants like 'forever chemicals' in the sludge.
