Kathy Castor (FL-14) released the following statement on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis\u2019 recreation proposal:\n\n\u201cFlorida natural spaces are unique and special, and I adamantly oppose Governor DeSantis\u2019 radical plan to literally pave paradise and put up a pickleball court,\u201d U.S. Representative Kathy Castor (FL-14) said. \u201cHe aims to sell out our most beloved parks to the highest bidder under the guise of outdoor recreation. Florida\u2019s unique natural lands and habitats\u2014our state\u2019s identity and way of life\u2014should not be bulldozed to cut developers a cheap deal. DeSantis\u2019 plan will harm our state\u2019s ability to draw over 30 million visitors as many come to enjoy our natural places. This move marks the latest effort by the Governor to prioritize profits over the planet, following his administration\u2019s repeated anti-environment, anti-climate actions.\u201d\n\nThese ridiculous projects include: multiple 18-hole golf courses at Jonathan Dickinson State Park on Florida\u2019s Atlantic Coast, 350-room park lodges at both Anastasia State Park in St. Augustine and Topsail Hill Preserve State Park on Santa Rosa Beach, up to four pickleball courts each at seven state parks, a disc golf course at five state parks, and a suite of new cabins at three parks. In Tampa Bay, plans call for up to four pickleball courts at both Honeymoon Island State Park and Hillsborough River State Park, with the addition of a disc golf course at the latter, according to the Tampa Bay Times.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:36:13Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://castor.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=404664"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8790483698248863, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
