Highlights from the prior week focus on the August 3 meeting between rain forest promoters and the City Council and citizens of Riverside, Iowa, home of one of Iowa's newest casinos (opening the end of this month), and the earlier announcement by the casino that it has lined up Tom Arnold and Jay Leno for opening shows.

[Every Monday since December 2005 there has been a weekly upload to the pre-existing Iowa rain forest Web site I maintain. In all, printed out it would run over 100 single spaced pages; there are, in addition, links to the full text of hundreds of newspaper stories and reports. It is very probably the most complete resource on the topic anywhere on the Web.
It is found at: http://www.nicholasjohnson.org/politics/IaChild.
Over the past few months the scope of the Web site has expanded from the rain forest project to include material related to the broader range of attractions and economic development generally in which the proposed rain forest exists and by which it must be evaluated.]
