10 Failed Levees In Midwest Flood Zone Were Not Inspected By Federal Government

[Wellstone ruled]

4. Look no further than the Local Politics

in the Flood areas. Gave up years ago after all the Bitching about the Corps spending all that money on Inspections of levees. Had a Business Contact who's Spouse was the head of the Missouri Basin Watershed District. Her Hubby was being pressured daily by Republican Members of Congress to cut his Inspection and Maintenance Budget because of sensitivity to concerns of Big AG interests in the Basin.


So when the Fargo Flood Out hit,the Corps brought him in the Clean up years of neglect and poorly built levees in a effort to regain the good graces of the local Political Establishment. Shortly after,he just had had enough and Retired out early. And as far as anything along the lines of Maintenance or corrective measures,appears nothing has been done.
