Feedback:
Lets break down the "Response from the owner" to the post left by "Jonathan Bradley"True "The IDNR manages the gates"False "works to minimize flooding on the system."Rita Lee from IDNR sits in an office in Springfield and adjusts the waterway level when a computer tells her the level is high.FACT more water can enter from Wisconsin then can be released at the gates. FACT Rita Lee looks at the rain fall in the area but doesn't look at how quickly the rain has fallen. 2" of rain in an hour will put more into the river then 2" over 24 hour time. FACT Rita Lee doesn't work weekends or holidays so if the water on the system is rising on Friday nothing will be done until Monday. FACT the entire system never was at normal winter pool in 2018-2019. FACT the Fox River and Chain of lakes has flooded more since the Fox waterway agency was created. FACT Rita Lee is REACTIVE to the water level while she should be PROACTIVE and start to lower the level when Wisconsin gets large amounts of rain. FACT it takes THREE DAYS for the water level at New Munster Wisconsin to reach the Chain of lakes. THREE DAYS Rita Lee has to react and be PROACTIVE before the water gets here.The construction of flood gates costing Millions in Mchenry was Suppose to control flooding in the area. However there is Nothing to prevent or limit the water flow into the Chain from Wisconsin.Hopefully the local businesses will get together to file a class action lawsuit. THEN maybe Rita Lee from IDNR will change her ways since she can't get fired being a Government worker.
