“It was the absolute flagrant disregard for the critical, globally imperiled habitat in these parks,” Gaddis told the Tampa Bay Times in an interview. Gaddis didn’t immediately respond to questions emailed Tuesday morning about his firing. Gaddis shared his dismissal letter with the Tampa Bay Times, which reads: “Recently the Department became aware that you intentionally released unauthorized and inaccurate information to the public. At least one document was created, authored, and disseminated by you without direction or permission.”
“The people of Florida deserve a detailed explanation of what exactly happened here – and how such a dangerous and destructive proposal came so close to fruition in the first place,” Eskamani wrote in a letter. “To that end, we call on the Governor’s Office and the Department of Environmental Protection to publicly release all communications with any of the people or organizations involved with this state park plan.
“After the best two years of my professional career, where I built great relationships with Florida Park Service staff all over the state and enjoyed mapping out a significant swath of our amazing park system, I was directed to create nine maps depicting shocking and destructive infrastructure proposals, while keeping quiet as they were pushed through an accelerated and under-the-radar public engagement process,” Gaddis wrote.
