$200 million to Study Bridge Possibility

Moline- IDOT revealed today that they need $200 million to prepare a study of the possibility of a bridge over the Rock River connecting the land of Sveli the goat herd and John Deere Headquarters. "Might save a few minutes if I ever decide to visit," Sveli said.

IDOT says that they will need federal funding in addition to the state's support for the plan to prepare a study of the possibility of a bridge over the Rock River connecting the land of Sveli the goat herd and John Deere Headquarters.

"Even though the current use may only be one person, a long term study is needed to figure out if we need to plan for the possibility of further usage of this plan by others out to about the year 2136. This is so that we can comply with what could be federal guidelines at that point in time," an official from IDOT said.

"Do we really need another bridge? Especially since this crossing would primarily benefit only one goat herd?" we asked another official. "That's what the $200 million study is set to tell us," he said, "We don't have answers to questions like that today."

Phil Hare said that the prospects of getting the funding looked "good".
