Piney Point fertilizer plant spill must be a wake-up call for FL politicians Sarasota Herald-Tribune Editorial Board © Mike Lang, Sarasota Herald-Tribune Wastewater being pumped from the Piney Point reservoir flows into this ditch and into Tampa Bay. United States Congressman Vern Buchanan toured Piney Point Monday, Apr. 5, 2021, getting a look at the breach in the containment wall, the pumping outflow and Port Manatee where the wastewater is being pumped into Tampa Bay. It is truly an indictment of how Florida is led that in a state where countless lawmakers have no qualms about heavy-handedly trying to control and micromanage how Floridians express their right to protest, cast votes and even select which college degrees to pursue, there has been an utter lack of diligent leadership when it comes to protecting citizens from incidents such as the frightening breach at the old Piney Point fertilizer plant in Manatee County.
