    My daughter lives near a major airport runway, in the same neighborhood as a US Congressman. It isn’t his main house, but his horses are there.

    So since he bought the place several years ago, ALL flights that once used this airspace have been drastically diverted to fly a giant loop about ten miles out. He and his horses don’t like that noise.

    ETA Republican of course

      That really could have been either party. They’ll both participate in that level of corruption.

    If the river can be raised it often may be done for simply moving items on the river. Nothing unusual here. Lake dropped 2 inches to raise the depth 2ft for a short time.

      So any citizen can call up and request the river be raised so their family can take a boat trip?

        I wouldn’t be too surprised if there’s a process if needed and maybe a fee. It’s fairly common on canals where barges may be carrying larger items which increase draft.
