Heying withdraws from race to push Volga Lake plan
Iowa Senator HL Heying withdraws from re election bid in District 5 to devote time to the Volga Lake project in Fayette County. The House appropriations committee backs a multi lake plan in a 14 million natural resources package, arguing several small lakes can be completed faster and cheaper than a single big lake. Avenson favors multi lake but aims to win support for the plan despite not having enough votes in committee. The project has seen about 2.7 million dollars allocated since 1967, with 1.15 million unspent for design and construction of multi lakes.
