EARTHPORK DEAD?
December 19, 2007
It looks like Congress may have put Earthpark out of its misery. The omnibus budget bill passed last night and headed for signature by President Bush pulls the funding for the indoor rainforest slated for Pella.
There is a slim chance for it to live. The project has filed a request for federal funds with the Department of Energy, and the Des Moines Register reports that "Grassley's office said the grant could still be allocated if the DOE acts before President Bush signs the bill, as expected, on Friday."
If they move that quickly, it will break all sorts of bureaucratic records.
