I’m sure glad the Democrat voters of Sacremento got their dam prettified.
Rather than pay for maintenance expenses the money went to pay for lawyers to protect illegal aliens and other higher California priorities. That’s the way it is.
No money for the infrastructure in California but plenty of money for the illegals.
They’d rather ride a high-speed train to nowhere.
Maybe they can fill the chasm with all the leftover cr@p that was left behind at the Pipeline Woodstock gathering...
The Irony in these two paragraphs is incredible. Greenie Moonbeam is a fanatic re Gorebull warming, and for him to take this step is getting slammed by reality!
Gov. Jerry Brown sent a letter to President Trump last week requesting a waiver that would allow the Oroville spillway repair to happen without review under the National Environmental Policy Act.
“We have suspended requirements for state environmental review due to the emergency,” Brown wrote. “I would ask that the White House take similar steps.”
They will blame Reagen for giving the speech at the opening of the dam in 1968.
Time to dust off “Bush’s fault”.
The 2 minute video at the link is astonishing. Humans are so puny.
Some duct tape and chewing gum and Jerry can go back to being President.
“We have suspended requirements for state environmental review due to the emergency,”
This may be the first time Brown has ever put the lives of humans ahead of birds, reptiles, fish, frogs, insects, etc.
An “appropriate” environmental review could find something like a new species of disease carrying mosquito is living in the area and require all downstream residents to evacuate permanently to save the mosquito rather than repairing the spillway. And it will forever be Brown’s fault that we lost a species. I hope the eco-nuts are appropriately outraged at his lack of environmentalism in prioritizing humans over the planet.
Heads up, SF Gate - what you are describing is not Grand Canyon. Dial it back if you want to retain any credibility.

Before they turned off the spigot.
Revealed damage on the main spillway after they turned off the spigot.
Bottom of the main spillway where a huge piece of concrete was jarred loose and made its way down to the teeth of the dispersion blocks at the bottom of the main spillway. The worker-ants in the foreground give you a perspective of how massive this whole this is.
Cali will first spend billions on sanctuary free healthcare for everyone before they get around to fixing infrastructure.
The cityfolk and illegals demand it.
Some have said the FR thread - link below - has of the best photos and technical analysis to be found anywhere.

Name it “Democrat Canyon,” and make it a wilderness area.
It appears that the liberal stupidity was saved by bedrock.
Earth is mightier than we.
I laugh at the goo goo enviroNazis and commie libs who think we can hurt or kill the earth. We are like algae on a blue whale.
I wonder how much gold was washed down stream during the emergency spill?
