Concerns are growing over the state's development plans at nine parks throughout Florida amid concerns of harming fragile ecosystems.
Local 10 News reporter and anchor Glenna Milberg was at Oleta River State Park in North Miami Beach Tuesday where people were protesting against the plans.
Gov. Ron DeSantis ' plan to develop state parks with business ventures -- such as golf courses, pickleball courts and large hotels to leverage more revenue -- has also received opposition from politicians on both sides of the aisle.
Republican Sens. Rick Scott and Marco Rubio joined GOP Rep. Brian Mast in a letter contending the compressed time frame was far too fast to fully air the plans. Democratic Rep. Kathy Castor said in a social media post the ideas were "outrageous" and rooted in policies that "prioritize profits over our planet."
Protests across the state have paused most of the plan.
