No, the greenbacks needed to keep Egmont Key alive are more pauper-sum: $140,000, according to the Egmont Key Alliance.
The gravity of the situation is clear. Faced with an estimated $5.7 billionshortfall in the state budget, the Legislature needs to make cuts. But the same elected officials who have refused to consider tax increases on alcohol and other revenue producers now are making cuts that would jeopardize schools, hospitals and unique natural resources such as Egmont, a wildlife refuge that attracts an estimated 100,000 visitors a year.
