Five years after the launch of the massive Everglades restoration, little has been accomplished, according to an internal memo.

The March 7 memo, obtained by the St. Petersburg Times, was written by Gary Hardesty, the top corps official in charge of the project in Washington. In the memo, which was not intended for public release, Hardesty noted that 'we haven't built a single project during the first five years... We've missed almost every milestone... Because of the delays, the projected cost to the taxpayers has shot up... We are already approaching a billion-dollar increase' in the first four construction projects out of dozens planned, Hardesty said."
