Cap to Cap update #4 > Rexroad.com

So the day on the hill is pretty much over for me now.

I decided to join Mayor Dave Flory and City Councilman Bill Marble on a meeting with Congressman Dan Lungren regarding flood control. The seating for the meeting was kind of odd. I ended up sitting in the front with Lungren and Marble while Flory and Helen Thomson sat in the back.

When they asked for someone from Yolo to speak to flood control issues I jumped in and gave the pitch. Lungren then said that when he drove up to Glenn County he liked seeing the baseball field along the side of the road that was a "catch basin". I told him that if he fixed our flood control problem we would be happy to change the name of Dubach Park to Lake Lungren if he liked.

Congresswoman Doris Matsui was kind of the host at lunch today in the Cannon building. She was great. The other two speakers had me in pain. When people start reading speeches to me about budget stuff I just can't seem to pay attention. They may be very powerful men but they could have spiced it up a bit.

I got a nice e-mail from someone asking what we were doing in Washington. I guess I did not do a very good job trying ot explain that. We are all back here with a trip organized by the Sacramento Metro Chamber called Cap to Cap.

400 people from the Sacramento area come back here once a year to discuss federal policy. It is the largest trip like it in the country.

Lots of peolple from Woodland and Yolo County are back here.

Whatever you and Dan can do to end the "FEMA Slush Fund" in Yolo County will be appreciated as long as it is a permanent fix.
