In todays Orlando Sentinel letters-to-the-editor, further proof that the House is treading on thin ice with the majority of Florida voters by delaying action on the springs: Legacy of ruined springs Thanks for the thoughtful words in defense of our natural springs (House must join Senates efforts to rescue springs, Orlando Sentinel, Thursday). As is always the case, lurking beneath all government inefficiency are the two political parties and their chosen issues, whether they be left or right, and the subsequent loss of all common sense in support of whatever side they are on for that issue. Unfortunately for the rest of us, Republicans are in control of the Florida House, and therefore, environmental issues are neglected because that is a cause of the left. I am of neither party and condemn the state House from the center for selling out the future of Florida springs in the name of special interests and political cronyism. I dont care if my children or my future grandchildren will be right or left as they grow up, but I do hope they take pictures of our ruined algae-covered springs and take them to the convalescent facility for retired legislators. They can then spend all day observing the effect of their work as young state legislators in the early 21st century. This will be their legacy. Charles E. Marshall Clermont
