Officials are Questioning the Coralville Rainforest

The Coralville Rainforest isnt moving along to quickly. It seems as though we have come to a standstill and waiting to purchase some land. The $50 million that we have recieve was also in question of where it came from. At first officials would not say and citizens were not happy feeling like they were using taxpayers money for this project until recently when the spokes person for the project told the press that it had come from a government energy grant. Officials are also questioning what is going on as the project seems to be going no where and are wondering if the state should just invest the money in a different environmental project.

Also brought up in a recent article was how much is actually left of the $50 million? How much of the money have we already wasted and there is nothing to show for it. Officials are not alone in this argument as many citizens agree with them. If action is not being taken why not just forget about the rainforest, save the state some money and invest what we have into another environmental project.
