Don't Just Dream

DO SOMETHING!

And the scientific community is united in that fact.

Dummycrat State Representative Wayne Ford went off the deep end when he was caught complaining about government response to this year's flooding of the Union Park/Birdland neighborhood.

Per the Ragister on 6/12...

officials have not been responsive enough since the 1993 floods — and help is coming too slowly now. He said there aren’t enough sandbags to protect homes and businesses in the area and he worries about flooding at North High School, directly across Second Avenue from the area being evacuated.

"...If we can protect Sec Taylor stadium, we should also be able to protect North High School.”

First off Wayne, it's Principal Park and has been since 2004.

Second, it was sandbagged by Iowa Cubs employees.

Thirdly, get off your fat ass and help sandbag.

Were you a part of the huge effort in Union Park to fill sandbags to be stacked by the National Guard?

How about utilizing your organization Urban Dreams?

In today's Ragister they corrected Ford's comments for him...

Ford remarked on efforts taken earlier to build a wall around Principal Park south of downtown and said "we should also be able to protect North High School."
