For many months FM Dam.org has been posting the ever rising cost to the taxpayer of the “Flood Someone Else Plan”. From an in-depth review of the documents it is apparent that the wasteful dumping of tax dollars has not abated. Even the denial of a permit for the plan has not given pause to the spenders of taxpayer dollars.
From the first FEIS it was apparent that Minnesota had reservations that likely would not permit the ill conceived plan to go forward.
The FM Dam.org postings reveal an unjustified continuing expenditure for a project that still does not have the required permit.
DPAC, the organization that devised the Assessment for the Diversion, has received tax dollars, some as late as 1/11/2018. This is the group that devised the special assessment district. The assessment was passed by the votes of the entities (government) who devised the special assessment district, not the taxpaying voters.
Given the vagaries of the DA/CCJWRD/DPAC accounting methodology, it appears the past costs attributed to DPAC are $1,038,496.48 in taxpayer dollars and there is not an end in sight.
Not much has changed. The DA and their special interest supporters are still working to dry up the natural flood plain for new growth and push that water on someone else.
