Mike Tein Saves Everglades, One Decaying Road At A Time.

Everglades Road

Mike scored a huge victory Wednesday on behalf of the Miccosukee Tribe and pretty much everyone else:

A Miami federal judge has dismissed and closed a case brought by the Miccosukee Tribe against the National Park Service after the government agreed not to rebuild a decaying Everglades road without an extensive environmental review.

In an order Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Patricia Seitz granted the government’s motion to close the case, handing a victory to the tribe and Miami attorney Michael Tein.

The partner at Lewis Tein sued the government for failing to hold public hearings, notify the tribe or conduct environmental reviews before moving forward with plans to work on the 24-mile Loop Road, which runs through the Everglades and tribal lands off U.S. 41.

Fresh off this win, I have asked Mike to personally oversee the Burmese Python problem, Asian Carp, health care, global warming and doing something about Sarah Palin.
