TALLAHASSEE - State Sen. Charles Dean (R-Inverness) announced Monday there will be an upcoming public hearing to discuss water protection in District 3. The Senate Select Committee on Florida's Inland Water will meet in Ocala later this month. The exact date has not been set.

"I am very proud to bring my Senate colleagues to Ocala to discuss what I feel is one of the most important policy issues in our state -- springs and water protection," said Dean. "The people of Marion county have a long and succinct history of water protection and preservation. I invite everyone from around the district to attend this meeting to discuss water protection issues."
