Bet your sweet bippy that if that inlet were in Iraq it would be
dredged out, and right now, by Cheney's buddies at Haliburton under a
no-bid contract and at the rate of about $1mm a scoop. :-(

I'll be totally honest - I'm starting to think that pouring all this
money into Iraq is a bad idea. I was talking to an Army Corps
engineer the other day over at the damn and she told me that their
budget was cut back 30% for dam maintenance - and this is the major
flood control dam for the Shetucket/Quinebaug/French river complex
that flows through Putnam - that thing goes it's good bye Putnam.
