This morning's news stated that Senator Grassely(R) of Iowa has removed the $50 million dollar grant to some dipsh!ts here in Iowa for an asinine idea of an indoor rainforest in this years' budget.
This thing has been controversial from the getgo, even here in Iowa. It shows in that the idiots haven't been able to get anyone in the state to match, in contributions, the Federal grant. The 'group' that proposed this idea have become obtuse in their demands from the location that they originally wished to build this.
At first it was to be in Iowa City, but IC wouldn't go along with some of the groups' changing ideas and demands. So, the group, in its infinite wisdom, decided to get all pissy about it and held a 'contest' for a new location. Some other town was foolish enough to say that they'd cough up some serious money for this thing. Can't remember which one, but who cares? I sincerely hope that this removal of the grant from the Federal budget will finally kill this stupid thing once and for all!!
