Post by: trapper2000 on Jul 29, 2016, 11:06 AM: it's easy to find fault but the simply fact is thanks to the current government the interstructor of the country has never been this bad . I can't blame a town for a sewer leak when they are doing everything they can to keep roads drivable not tring to make this a political debate but the fact is ...it is ......

:clapping: :rotflol:

I do have a political question and there are a lot or retired fisherman here .....under the Obama administration 4 of the 8 years social security did not get a cost of living raise ,we were told that the cost of living hadn't gone up ...if this is true then why is it so important to raise the min wage???? i'm not being a wise guy it is my honest question to both partys I don't understand the logic here

Post by: bigredfishing on Jul 29, 2016, 03:17 PM: Pretty standard I guess. You should see what the sewage plants are allowed to dump in the river when the water level is high :o Not a lot of respect for our local water ways unfortunately.

For reference, the current leak is approximately 0.007% of the river flow.
