No, Ms. Grover, your pipeline is not a job generator for
Florida, Georgia, or Alabama, and yes, you’ve slipped your schedule.
“Florida is swarming with protests, like an antbed stirred up
by a 600-mile pipeline stick,” John S. Quarterman, president,

You know what would bring economic benefits to the Sunshine State?
Solar power, which already employs more people than coal, oil, and natural gas
combined, which produced 1 in 20 new jobs last year, and last year solar power
produced more new electricity than any other source.
Ms. Grover is paid to picture that fossil-fuel cash-out in the best possible light.
Yet once you know the actual facts, it looks more like the Picture of Dorian Gray.
“How sad it is! I shall grow old, and horrible, and dreadful. But
this picture will remain always young. It will never be older than
this particular day of June…. If it were only the other way! If it
were I who was to be always young, and the picture that was to grow
old! For that—for that—I would give everything! Yes,
there is nothing in the whole world I would not give! I would give
my soul for that!”

A suggestion: say what it is you’d like the EPA, GA-EPD, FDEP, etc. to actually do.
And what I’d suggest is get them all to fund and implement regular, frequent,
closely spaced, water quality monitoring along all the rivers in the
Suwannee River Basin.
That way we’d know where pollution is coming from,
we’d be able to calibrate what cities including Valdosta say from
their own monitoring, and we’d have baselines to compare to.
