A letter signed by the mayors of the lakeside cities of Okeechobee, Moore Haven, Clewiston, South Bay, Belle Glade, and Pahokee was emailed to Congressman Brian Mast Thursday afternoon, asking Mast to not “politicize” the Lake Okeechobee algae issue for the sake of a “photo op,” rather than meeting with mayoral leaders of the cities surrounding the Lake to bring about tangible change.
