I was just pointing out how ridiculous maddog's mushroom post was. If the project ends up costing more It certainly wouldn't be Shannon Savick's fault for getting us the amount of funding we asked her to get.
Apparently maddog thinks if we would have had a real Republican in that seat they would have gotten us 3 times the amount we asked for and would have done it with a 1 minute phonecall.

My other comment was about a letter writer who stated QUOTE Do you like it that Fountain Lake will finally be dredged, after decades of effort to finally purify one of Freeborn County’s greatest natural resources? Then vote Shannon Savick. She secured it with one two-minute phone call to the governor. makes you think that Savick single-handedly got the district the money with the wave of Glinda's wand or..

Why not? The Peggy Bennett radio ads suggest that Savick single-handedly made the decision to fund "...a 90-million dollar office building for politicians," rather than fund projects at home.
Who falls for this tripe, anyway?

From the July 18th SRRWD minutes.
Cole Pestorious
Dredge Storage Rent 504 Dredging $ 416.67
Thats monthly according to the June 10th 2014 minutes...
Administrator Behnke gave an update on the following:
• Dredge and pump storage. Per the contract with Cole Pestorious, the lease payment will go into a month by month
payment from this point on. There will now be only a thirty day notice by either party to stop lease agreement.
Almost as bad as the $100 a week they pay to have the office cleaned.

Listed as Samantha Stadheim Cleaning. Which amusingly enough doesn't seem to exist anywhere else but in the minutes of the SRRWD.

It looks like they are just feeding their young.
Clayton used to come on here occasionally. Wonder what he's got to say about this?
