A Florida State park worker was fired from his job after he leaked a proposal to build multiple golf courses, two hotels, disc golf courts, and four pickleball courts in nine State parks.
James Gaddis, a cartographer for the the Department of Environmental Protection, was tasked to draw up the conceptual land use for the project. The vast habitat loss, environmental damage and the apparent secrecy behind the proposal rang the alarms for Gaddis, who decided to leak the information to the Tampa Bay Times.
