South Dakota Lobbyist for Dam Hopeful on 12th Trip to Capital
Eadie Mullally, a Pierre shoe store owner, leads a lobbying delegation for the proposed Qahe dam on the Missouri River. He recalls a backwash episode that convinced him the river itself is a powerful ally. Mullally cites support from Dr. C. B. Sutley, Bud Tyler, and Harley Graff and notes the high cost and limited House funding as obstacles. He hopes Senate action will increase the 700,000 appropriation and push forward flood control goals amid tough congressional hurdles.
