The Everglades restoration bill enters political waters.

"The measure, part of a broader water resources bill that has already passed the Senate, would authorize $1.4 billion for the first phase of an eventual $7.8 billion federal-state project intended to restore the Everglades' natural sheet of water flow after decades of human interference and pollution from agricultural runoff. The southern Everglades is a protected national park. "
