U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek of Miami weighs in on the New York Times investigation into Gov. Charlie Crist's proposed Everglades deal with U.S. Sugar: "If the merits of this agreement remain strong, and I am not calling into question the validity of the deal, is Florida overpaying for U.S. Sugar land? Florida residents have consistently shown support for Everglades restoration and it is imperative that the money is used in the most effective way possible and not squandered on over-valued land."
