No Dam Lake It Appears

Dammit.

LINCOLN, Neb. -- A legislative committee killed a bill (LB1121) Monday afternoon that would have funded a study on building a lake between Omaha and Lincoln.
The Appropriations Committee killed the bill, by Sen. Pam Brown of Omaha, on a 6-0 vote.
Earlier Monday, residents of Ashland showed up by the hundreds at the Nebraska State Capitol on Monday.
They were there to rally against a $3 million proposal to study the value of creating a huge recreational lake between Omaha and Lincoln. If built, the plan for the lake would have flooded Ashland and relocated the town.
