Nothing new in the world about this story - politicians would always rather pay for some dazzly new (union voter-built) project than pay to maintain the roads and dams that "don't vote."

A lot of similar observations were made in this book, which predicted a lot of the disorder we're seeing in the Oroville situation.

This is another (as if we needed it) ‘Thank the NEA Moment’.

We are living in a completely dummied down society. THIS is what you get.

Senseless socialists/totalitarians. Living off the back of other peoples hard work or destroying others work. The fix is never in, but give them perpetual money to work on it.

Well, yes! And it has worked so well for them. For us, not so much.

Will this be the defining moment when California Dems come to their senses?

You don’t need dams if you believe Global Warming is real.

Whatever happened to Math and Physics in California schools and colleges? It is extreme folly to build the highest earthen dam in the world in an extreme seismic zone.

The story not being told is that because of the train wreak over flooded Cousumnes river in Elk Grove the main freight train line in the central valley is unusable. Amtrak also uses this track. We were assured that the track was inspected before the train went through. Yeah, right. Thank god it was a freight train and not Amtrak that went in the flooded river.

Because of this, all commuter trains between Stockton and the bay area have been cancelled over the Altamont, and freight trains are being diverted that way. Haven't been able to find out what is going on with Amtrak, but my guess is they are busing.

But luckily Jerry Brown is building a high speed train somewhere south of here that may someday be useable.
