Come Again

Funding for rail service from Iowa City to Chicago and the rebuilding of the Lake Delhi dam are budget stumbling blocks between the Iowa House & Senate.

Iowa passenger rail link, Lake Delhi dam on chopping block

Dummycrat State Senator Matt McCoy is quoted as saying Democrats are “prepared to bleed a little” on the issue and "It’s non-negotiable”.

On the dam, McCoy said, “I would like to think that even if there is a disaster in a Republican subdivision, s subdivision of Cedar Rapids Republicans, we would step up and help, find a way to get it down".

I'm thinking that quote is a Cedar Rapids Gazette misprint as McCoy probably said done, not down and the scientific community is united in that fact.

McCoy then needs to explain why he voted against Republican Senator Merlin Bartz's amendment to the infrastructure appropriations bill that would have given the Floyd County supervisors $40,000 toward repairing or breaching the county owned Rockford dam.
