What will it take before the state decides that the benefits of cleaning out the rivers will outweigh the damage that flooding every 5{1/2} months causes?
Also, how about the state/town taking the opportunity to purchase Wheeler Field (across from the bowling alley) while it's for sale to help with water levels?
With the 100-year floods turning into less-than-six-months floods, maybe it's time to act before it's too late.
