Hoeveler removal roundup (cont.)
A little more editorial reaction to Judge Hoeveler's removal from the Everglades case.
+ Sarasota Herald Tribune -- sad turn of events for the 81-year-old Hoeveler. And his removal is a setback for the Everglades and Florida. Hoeveler's replacement, Judge Federico Moreno, will need awhile to get up to speed. Big Sugar and its lawyers won't mind the delay.
+ I had missed Sun-Sentinel columnist Michael Mayo's piece on this yesterday -- Let me get this straight. It's OK for Big Sugar to rewrite the rule book on the Everglades cleanup midgame, using its money and influence in Tallahassee's corridors to get what it wants. But it's not OK for a revered federal judge who's been overseeing the process to blow his whistle and call horse spit when he sees it?
+ And me, of course.
