Bird flu has returned to the Midwest earlier than authorities expected after a lull of several months. Officials say the highly pathogenic disease was detected in two commercial turkey flocks in western Minnesota's Meeker County.
The purpose of the sales tax was to help raise $4.3 million to fund two infrastructure projects in Natrona County; the Midwest Avenue Project and the Salt Creek Waterline Project.
Although the Midwest region of the United States has been derogatorily referred to as “flyover country” in some instances, millions of Americans are more than happy to make their homes within these states.
