From Times Staff and Wire Reports
The state Supreme Court ruled that sugar growers are not solely responsible for cleaning up the Everglades, ordering that all polluters share the cost of restoring the fragile wetland. The court ruled that a constitutional amendment passed by Florida voters in November 1996 does not lay financial liability solely on sugar farmers, whom environmentalists blame for polluting the Everglades.
