If you weren't careful, you may have overlooked the tiny 3.5" column tucked away next to the fold on page A12 of today's Dispatch/Argus, but it reveals that Sen. Dick Durbin has gotten $1.2 million appropriated for the Quad Cities.
I'm not sure what "River Tech Boulevard" is exactly, but a cool million has been appropriated for it. The piece says it will allow flood-proof access to the proposed WIU riverfront campus, if it's ever built.
I trust this doesn't involve raising River Dr. in any way or messing with the parkway.
Durbin also announced $200,000 for a bike trail in Carbon Cliff.
Savanna is to get $200,000 for the Great River Trail as well.

Don't be stupid. Really, don't be stupid.
Stop. Reread your comment. Does it make sense?
Are you making something up out of thin air in order to attack me with it? Reading something into a post that's clearly not there or even implied?
Then don't bother posting. For that matter, if that's the case, don't bother coming back.
