So far, the state of Florida has invested more than $2.4 billion to implement the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan. The watershed area north of Lake Okeechobee is a critical part of the Everglades restoration, as it is where nuch of the polution that flows into the lake and south to the everglades originates. The state and the federal government are supposed to each pay half of the $22 billion long-term price tag. But budgeting and other problems still hinder progress.
