I grew up around Gavins Point Dam stretching across the boundary of Nebraska and South Dakota. Severe flooding on the upper Missouri may be a rare event, but harsh criticism of the the US ARMY corp of engineers isn't. For decades, stakeholders up and down the river have waged a fierce struggle over how the corps has managed water releases from the great 6 Missouri River reservoirs -- struggles triggered equally by periods of low water as this year's high water.

Monday June 27, 2011

A letter like this goes out about every year from the Army Corps of Engineers to affected landowners (which is a much wider group of people this year!). If the primary purpose of the Corps is flood control, then what is the purpose of this letter, I wonder:




**This morning's response to the comments made by the corps in a local newspaper, as well as the segments with "American Thinker Joe" (article below), are now posted within the Vintage Voorhees link near the top-left of this page.
