PLANNERS -- Those at Met Council ignored aquifer capabilities far too long, and do not have jurisdiction over the entire aquifer serving City of Ramsey/Anoka County. Now, will they remain wilfully ignorant of soils differences?

The Anoka sand plain percolates water whereas high clay soil regions need stormwater drainage management to a far greater extent. Strib reports on planners and storms. It fails to mention area to area natural drainage differences. The one-size-fits-all mentality and approach of Met Council is galling. If it comes to jobs stimulus via drainage re=engineering and building, do what's needed, but where needed. Pay attention to the land, not the politicians.
