"The acreage identified is drawn from a 1997 survey conducted by the Clinton administration, which sought to identify potential offsets to revive the Florida Everglades after decades of pollution from the sugar cane industry.

The actual language of the 1997 survey, which did not result in land being sold, prefaced its findings with a caution: ?Please note many lands identified appear to have conflicts which may preclude them from being considered for disposal or exchange.?
Yes, I did read it and the Clinton admin was hounded over it and and they decided it was not worth selling the land to pay for the everglades clean up. Obviously it wasn't sold..
