No Surprise

The Reynolds County judge approved the settlement between Ameren and the State, so except for a few Don Quixote's out there it's probably all rebuild from now. I loved the quote from Don Barnes in this article. Remember this is the guy that just last month said that the settlement was unacceptable and the court house was not going to take this laying down.

I hope that everyone that has been interested will keep an eye out for where the money goes. So far there has been no accounting for the $5 million FERC programs and now we have $7 million for tourism and economic development and $5 million for education. I sure hope the education money goes for college scholarships and not "smart boards" and laptops and other "educational candy" that will be underused and old technology in a few years.
