WLIC Dredge Letter, Part II
The other "item of interest" in the WLIC letter was an update on progress being made regarding sewage spills. The letter mentions a recent meeting involving KCMO, WLIC and "Weatherby Lake", I assume that means the City of Weatherby Lake. I imagine there was much more discussed than summarized in the letter. That being said, the biggest threat to the watershed by KCMO remains unanswered. A warning system is in place to tell us what we (and KCMO) already know. During big rain events, massive amounts of ground water are infiltrating the sewer system and overwhelming the pumps. Imaging by KCMO is yet to be conducted and when it is completed the question is...what next? Facing similar problems throughout their aging system and the prospect of billions of dollars needed to satisfy EPA requirements...how likely are they to address the problems that affect the Lake...and in what time frame? Next time you chat with a WLIC director ask them the time frame KCMO and the EPA have agreed to remedy the problems cited by the EPA. Any guesses out there?

Fixing sewers here at home is discretionary and not urgent.
Non -discretionary spending is what has been determined as absolutely necessary money that we must spend no matter what like defense spending
Defense spending allows us to invade a country that didn’t attack us and rebuilding their infrastructure .We are now spending 5 billion a week doing that and spreading freedom.
Wisconsin has a budget deficit of 3 -5 billion or our weekly investment in non -discretionary spending in the middle east.
You can read the moral and fiscal justification for that in the editorial pagers of IBD and Rupert’s WSJ
How are they using the bean field if KCMO isn't done with it yet. I don't see any preparations like there are under the dam.
