I have been thinking about this ever since the flood concerns reared their head this past couple of weeks. I want to apologize to city councilors who had the foresight to fund the Levees by borrowing the money in hopes to get repayment from the Feds. I especially want to apologize to Jamison and Litz who I was the hardest on. Not only are the levees proving to be a good idea, the Feds have repaid us for the bonds we took out (even though Bowlcut & Bucktooth decided to squander the money for an indoor pool, we now have to pay the bonds back from 2nd penny).
One of my complaints at the time was this was really about saving all the businesses in the FEMA flooplain in the mall area from paying flood insurance. Now that I look back on it, I can’t imagine what kind of mess we would have now if they didn’t build the levees.
So once again, sorry.
Woah. Good on you for this post.
Good for you
But I still won’t apologize about my opposition to Lewis and Clark, huge boondoggle. I would be curious what percentage we take from the pipeline, and how much of that do we sell to other communities.
I sure hope the good people of Sioux Falls do not suffer a Plague from all the concentrated animal waste and AG chemicals that flood the city. Just thinking about the mutations and vectors such as rats. The day of reckoning is coming sooner or later.
Maybe we will all gain superpowers!
13wis That possible outcome has potential. Another Marvel or DC Universe superhero story? Could be lucrative or in South Dakota could be fun and entertaining.
You know darn well the X-Tians would screw it up.
Nice mea culpa. Hope you or someone flag Jamison & Litz so they know you published it.
Go look at Sioux Fall’s water quality report. They receive over 50% of their supply from Lewis and Clark. You’ll be very happy to have the pipeline if we ever get an extended drought. In the mean time, Lewis and Clark has allowed the City to turn off their wells contaminated with PFAS.
