That would be the North West Florida Water Management District you pay taxes on.
This is not true. Your tax bill does not fund this organization. You may pay taxes for the Water Management District, but this is not the same organization. Get your facts streight before you start rummors.
This could easily go on the chopping block when the governor begins his cost cutting measures. Basically speaking it is already being instituited by the NRCS which is the agency that actually implements the duties. Just another federally funded organization that needs to bite the dust. In case you haven,t noticed your tax bill reflects a contribution from each of you to help fund this organization.
