Eh??

If you're driving west into Nebraska, you'd probably save some time by living in a small town west of DM. There are a number of them on or near Interstate 80. They, and most towns in the Midwest, were founded during horse-and-buggy days, so they're about 7 miles apart. But they are extremely small, many having fewer than 1,000 people, and even though schools have been consolidated, they may not be as well set up as big-city schools. Nor are there many other amenities. But of course, driving into DM is no great chore. I lived in a village 60 miles west of DM, and some folks there commuted to DM daily. The relatively light traffic on I-80 made this feasible at that time, which was several years ago. Today's increasing fuel prices might make it less so.

Katy I have a few suggestions,

1. take it to the Supreme Court, after all this man did try terrible things and giving someone immunity and not letting people have those two minutes is unconstitutional so you should be able to win.

2. If you really need to send your story to Omaha, we probably would pick something like that up

though do really try the Supreme Court, it should work

i too have had experiences with M.I.N.E..(MID IOWA NARCOTICS ENFORCEMENT) AND THEIR BIASED TREATMENT OF PEOPLE...I KNOW that an informant can do whtever they want to and give Nations a call and get it all taken care of...i have seen it hppen with one individul 3 times since 07..one possession charge and two conspiracy to manufacture meth...and she was allowed to plea to a simple misdemeanor charge...i however got the max penalty for second possesion charge and deserved it...however if the laws are good for one citizen they should be enforced by all...as far as the task force having an informant manufacture meth and then sell it and arrest those who buy it...that should be entrapment...i am not a citizen who is going to stand by and watch this continue and hopefully others will get tired of the bull**** and stand up to nations and his snitches...i wonder how many cases would have been won on appeal if this law of immunity did not exist..i know mine would have and alot of people i know who have accepted accountability wouldn't be doin 25-life for the same **** the task force is paying the informants to do...yes..they do get paid...

Just to let folks know that we did move from Wichita, but we moved to Nebraska instead of Iowa. My company gave me the option of either Des Moines area or Omaha area. It was not to hard to decide on Papillion, NE after seeing the housing market and what each city had to offer. I liked both cities, but felt Omaha had more to offer us in the long run. Thank you to everyone who commented and gave suggestions. Moz
