Welcome to

A new report by Florida�s Civil engineers says our quality of life is being diminished by a lack of state investment in roads, schools and other infrastructure. The report card gives Florida facilities an overall grade of �C�, but investment in schools and energy related structures were only a D+. State Representative Stephen Precourt, who is also an engineer, says the effects are showing up in our everyday lives.

�Every year it takes a little bit longer to get to and from work and school,� Precourt said. �Every year water pressure in your showers is going down and the quality of that water is potentially a problem and that could be a catastrophic problem as well. So every year you get less reliability out of your energy and that makes major employers look less and less at coming to Florida.�

The engineering society says Florida needs to invest a minimum of ten billion dollars a year over the next 20 years to bring critical infrastructure up to par.
