NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Boaters are being warned by state wildlife officials to back off from a group of rare North Atlantic right whales that have been spotted in the waters off New Smyrna Beach.
The law requires boaters, surfers, swimmers and others to stay at least 500 yards from endangered animals, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission.
Politicians keep their word, sometimes. When he ran for mayor of New Smyrna Beach, Adam Barringer, elected in November, promised to have an economic development plan drafted within 100 days of office. He delivered on the 97th day.
The general public, though, sees politicians mostly in a negative way. This negative opinion is reflected in the remark by Sara Wells at the Touch of Italy restaurant when she told me: ”The politicians have all the say and we have none.”
