Florida DEP Whistleblower Fired After Exposing Ron DeSantis’ State Park Development Plans
Sep 3, 2024, 03:20 PM
A Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) employee was fired after revealing plans for extensive development in nine state parks. The whistleblower, a cartographer, disclosed that the secret, fast-tracked plans included building golf courses, hotels, disc golf courts, and pickleball courts. The employee raised concerns about the potential environmental destruction these developments could cause. Governor Ron DeSantis and state officials have faced criticism for the lack of transparency and the rushed nature of the plans. The whistleblower, who has started a GoFundMe campaign, stated he felt compelled to 'stop the madness' despite the personal consequences. The dismissal letter cited the release of 'unauthorized information' to the public, which should have been public records.
