Tennessee Valley Authority and Malaria Control

Last night during the presser one of the reporters asked about the Tennessee Valley Authority, a govt. run corp that the head of, a federal employee, makes 8 million a year. Trump said he was happy someone had finally asked about it, and that was a heck of a good paycheck.

I looked into it because I’d never heard of it – it seems it was created in 1933 during the great depression and was put in charge of flood control, navigation, electrical generation, and economic development. It covers the states of – Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia (lots of caves in this region.

Net worth – 1.12 Billion according the wiki.

So odd the reporter asked about it, almost like part of the plan, and Trump said he was going to look into it because it’s a LOT of money.

Other noteworthy projects of the TVA, executed in conjunction with local authorities, have included malaria control; tree planting; the development of mineral, fish, and wildlife resources; land conservation; educational and social programs; and the construction of recreational facilities adjacent to reservoir banks.

With all this talk of a drug that treats malaria that has been discussed recently that's rather interesting.
