Orlando lawmaker testifies in Alligator Alcatraz lawsuit

An Orlando-area lawmaker took the witness stand Wednesday in a lawsuit that could determine the future of a controversial aviation facility in the Everglades, known by critics as “Alligator Alcatraz.” State Rep. Anna Eskamani testified in federal court as environmental groups push to temporarily shut down the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport while their lawsuit plays out.
