Visit Cairo, Illinois sometime (population 2831) and then get back to me. 2831 people, possibly 800 to 1000 homes worth less than the 100 homes and productive farm land proposed to be ruined.
100 tax paying households as opposed to 2831 tax takers.
Cairo is in Illinois, let them blast their own levees anywhere they please and leave Missouri farmers alone.
Point taken.
I didn’t consider that it’s 2800 votes for democrats vs. 100+ votes for republicans.
