"grew up around and depend on farming"......I know lots of people who grew up around and depended on farming, and they want clean water in Des Moines and they want the farmers to clean it up......but....wait for it....they want someone else to pay. Case in point....I have good friends in Des Moines who really, really want clean water and certainly want healthy children and no "blue babies".....but they will squeal like pigs when there is ANY reduction in the annual check they get as payment from their brother who still farms their inherited portion of the "home place".
There is a very predictable solution to this.....Governor Branstad will form a commission to come up with a "bi-partisan" solution (grab your wallet). There will be a fee (not a tax ??) assessed to all water users in Des Moines.....the children will be saved....the water will be treated.....part of the fee will go to the farmers in the three counties to "encourage voluntary conservation practices".....and all the decent blue collar workers in Des Moines will have less money at the end of the month after paying their bills.
And last but not least......exactly why do farmers need our sympathy ??? Please explain

But it's important not to let that packaging lull you into a false sense of security. The appearance of matching sleeves, pistons, rings, and bearings can cause frustration and agony if not properly measured and installed in a workshop environment. Following c
