Last year. for the first time in 15 years. no one drowned in the Potomac in the Washington area. Park Rangers believe they know why: their new signs that warn swimmers and fishermen about the rivers strong current and undertow. The new signs are printed in English and in Spanish. the native languages of many new immigrants who use the river to relax with their families or to fish. The Park Service posted the bilingual signs after they noticed that many recent drowning victims were also recent immigrants. So. is making this political statement in the Inhofe amendment so important that we wouldnt want to provide safety for those who are using the Potomac River? It was considered to be a sensible. rational thing to do: print the sign in both languages so people will be warned of the danger.
