Wow, I have missed a lot in the news lately!
I can't fathom why this is even in consideration. Like you said, Missouri prepared and Illinois didn't. It's not that I want to see a city hurt by flooding (as today is the 1-year anniversary of the Nashville flood) but why hurt innocent farmers who don't make nearly enough as it is? Time to get out sandbags, IL - leave other states out of YOUR mess.
