were seeking funding to complete the Southwest Con-
nector and for the City - funding to connect Norwalk's
existing bike trails to those of DSM; funding for a Com-
munity Recreation Center; funding for an Amphithe-
ater Park where the current Public Works facility is; and
funding for a Norwalk Film Museum. We did not get
any real "warm fuzzies" on any of these project requests
except for the Bike Trails, but that requires the City to
have 20% of the funds already guaranteed to pursue
Federal assistance.
In order to get funding support from any of our Con-
gressional members, it requires relationships to be built
and this trip really allowed that to happen. We can't get
any money this year because all of the "mark ups" have
already taken place (that happens in the March/April
time frame), but we shall see what happens with next
year's budget. Congressman Latham explained to us that
since this is an election year, Congress will not pass a
budget, but will rather work on a "Continuing Resolu-
tion Authority (CIL,)/' until the next Congress is seated.
Overall I thought it was a good trip and was "re-
freshed" to hear some common sense from the politi-
cians individuall but what they do when partisanship
politics are exercised, then who knows what the out-
come will be?!
