Well here's one that most people don't know about.

The Kentucky River Authority has spent millions on repairing dams AND Locks for on #1, #2, #3, and #4. Asian carp from the Ohio will get all the way up into the Frankfort pool. They are funded by fees collected on water bills from water users in the Kentucky River watershed.

The claim is that opening locks will bring economic boom and commerce up the Kentucky. That's a load of crap. In KRA meeting minutes, they briefly addressed a fisherman's concern about the invasion of carp. They blew it off, stating "they're already there".

1. Why are millions spent on locks that will only benefit a few?
2. Where is US Fish and Wildlife and environmental studies for Asian carp invasion?
3. Why is Fish and Wildlife quite about the opening of 4 locks and the impact of carp?
