Impressed, the visitor told Omaha Mayor Eugene Leahy about his upbeat arrival by cab. As a result, all six of the area's taxi companies have agreed to send their drivers to briefings and guided tours of the 54-mile waterway project. "They can be the greatest goodwill, or bad-will, ambassadors," explains the mayor.
