Flood DUD

"If it's yellow, let it mellow...If it's brown, flush it down." L.D. McMullen to Des Moines 1993

I caught this letter in the Ragister and it caused my blood to boil red...

L.D. McMullen, Des Moines Water Works general manager, is overpaid? Anyone remember 1993? He's "priceless," and we're amazingly lucky to have him...

There are plenty of states that would love to have McMullen and would let him name his price.

I say let him go!

McMullen currently makes over $200,000 a year plus benefits.

This so called "Flood Stud" was the reason Des Moines lost its water anyway.

You wouldn't christen a cop a hero who let a prisoner escape, commit a murder while loose and then recapture the prisoner after 12 days.

Priceless Lee D. McMullen turned down assistance for sandbagging prior to losing the plant.

Sandbagging that was later done so the flood water could be removed and the plant put back on line.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out Lee.
