Somebody in Dallas came up with this great tourist attraction idea. They're going to make white water rapids for kayaking in the Trinity River.
Sounds good, but not when you consider that the state has judged the Dallas' stretch of the Trinity unsuitable for swimming, diving and water skiing because of elevated bacteria levels caused by animal waste and human sewage. Dallas officials say, "The water is fine . . . come on in!" According to Assistant City Manager Jill Jordan, "We want people to embrace the river, to be interested in the river, and to come down to the river. Kayaking provides something to see when you come there." Get out the shovel! The Trinity isn't the only place full of sewage!
