P.S. Tom: Isn't Carter Lake, IA pretty much surrounded by Nebraska? Has the town considered seceding?
Yes, on three sides... technically, we're
in Nebraska, but it's a river basin with a hefty sized bluff.... the plain actually starts just outside Omaha, which is why 90% of the Nebraska population lives here and not out in the desert... er prairie.
The town fought in the US Supreme court to stay in Iowa... that's how bad Nebraska's taxes are!
