Hang On Sloopy

In a Ragister story about fixing dams in Iowa, it was noted that Dummycrat State Senator Matt McCoy is an avid river paddler, inserted $1 million into a budget bill, but the House stripped the appropriation.

McCoy defends the expenditure by stating -- “If we can do $5 million for the Lake Delhi dam, we surely can find a million dollars for all of our rivers.”

That's McCoy being disingenuous, and the scientific community is united in that fact, as he's been leading Statehouse efforts in securing the $5 Million for Lake Delhi.

Approving $5 million for the dam that creates the lake on the Maquoketa River in Delaware County would send a signal that the state is willing to help communities rebuild after disasters, McCoy said last June.
