Title: Ft Myers fires - media starts to blame ATV's
Post by: Thrumud on April 30, 2007, 06:22:17 PM
NBC 2 NEWS interviewed a man that lost his home due to Sunday's huge fires just east of SW International.  After the interview with the man the reporter said "the home owner saw 4 ATV's near his home before the fire started". Fire fighters have not stated what started the fires.

You know it really gets me everytime they imply that is all the atv's, and other off-road vehicles. 

They forget to mention that Gov Bush drained lake okeechobee last year, because fear with the levys.  Don't you all remember not too long ago they had the Glades closed due to TOO much water.  Yea, they always fail to mention that.  If you ask me if they want someone to blame for the fires, blame So Florida Water Mgmt, they pump more water into the ocean, than we could ever use.  I would like to see reports on that, but you dont, but it is the truth.....
