Thomas Egan has covered Florida's water crisis for a decade, starting at the Fort Pierce Tribune and now bringing that expertise to TC Sentinel. He understands the Lake Okeechobee discharge system, Indian River Lagoon restoration politics, and the intricate web of federal, state, and local agencies fighting over water control. He is patient with complex technical subjects, relentless on public records, and never lets the bureaucratic complexity become an excuse to bury the lead.

“Patient and methodical. Explains complex systems clearly. Never lets readers lose sight of why water policy affects their lives. ”
