Lots happened this last weekend!

Your government at work. President Bush stuck his fishing boat against the rocks this weekend. Luckily, divers from the Secret Service where there to free the Command Guy.




Beautiful! Patriotic! An artist turns a 700-pound block of Land O' Lakes cheddar cheese into a replica of Mount Rushmore.




Not the CornCobs. Des Moines' new NBA-affiliated minor-league basketball franchise will be known as the Iowa Energy.

No to Destiny. Opponents of a proposal to raise the sales tax in Dallas, Polk and Warren counties outnumber supporters nearly 2 to 1 among likely voters in a special election on July 10.

Ok so our destiny is not assured. The tax measure failed. If the new tax was suppose to help fund trails perhaps we should have a trail tax as we have an auto tax. I'm not suggesting that everyone who uses a trail has to wear a license tag but a 'use card' could be purchased and made available if asked for. It could be a daily, monthly, seasonal annual use fee. A use card could be earned by volunteering time to help clean up or repair trails. Just a thought.
