from your perspective, what are some of the questions Amendment 3 raises for you about Florida's ability to protect those water resources?
21:04
I'll focus on the kind of three within your kind of listenership area, which would be the St. Johns River Water Management District, the South Florida Water Management District, and the Southwest Florida Water Management District.
21:17
And all three of them, while having those same core responsibilities I mentioned, water quality, water supply, flood protection, they each have very unique challenges within their region and tend to... focus some of their dollars.
21:36
Specifically, we're talking about ad valorem dollars.
21:39
These are tax dollars that the water management districts collect that Amendment 3 would have an impact on.
21:47
So I'll start with South Florida Water Management District.
21:49
The most complex water management system exist in south florida of what i would argue within the united states and and partly even globally it is an amazing system that we florida have built to be able to live in southeast florida right if you think about florida it's flat it was very wet We built in places that would not necessarily have been dry all year round historically.

So what do you think voters should be asking themselves when they're evaluating costs and benefits of Amendment 3, especially when it comes to protecting Florida's water resources?
