DATELINE - the entire Sunshine State
As if Florida Man doesn't have enough problems already, there's the possibility of radioactive roads coming to the Sunshine State.
It seems that there is something called "phosphogypsum," or P.G for short, that Florida lawmakers voted to allow to be used in road construction.

P.G. is a byproduct of fertilizer that gives off radioactive radon gas.
The federal government says it's too toxic to do anything with; some local Florida politicians claim otherwise.
It's a bit of a cliche, but your mileage may vary when it comes to this one.
