Show Notes

In 1910, Robert Broussard, a Louisiana member of the United States House of Representatives introduced a bill that he believed would address several problems that his local district in New Iberia was actively struggling with: first, the problem of water hyacinth taking over local waterways and the second was the country’s ongoing meat shortage. It was known simply as the American Hippo Bill.
