Rainforest is up in the air

The $50 million in government funding has been put on hold due to the fact that nothing in the project is being done. The government has put the money on hold until the project can match the $50 million in private donations and they have until December 1, 2007. Senator Grassley 's office has reported that $2 million of the $50 million has already been spent and the rest is on hold. $2 million has been spent and we have nothing to show for it. Because of this the government is not telling what the future will hold for this project. It has even been said that the project may not even be in Coralville, the government says it is an Iowa project and where it will be is not defininte. With the Coralville site in mind Senator Grassley said that certain things are suppose to be happening by a certain time and those things arent happening.
