“What happened the $7.5 Billion Water Bond Money that voters approved in 2014? “
I vaguely remember several other water bonds passed through the years. What happened to that money?
Hey don't worry. You've got a one-party state. The Democrats have a great track record of investigating themselves.
Audit time.
My bet is that they created dozens of studies, and blew most of the money on university-connected studies which ended up as a empty pot in the end. If that’s true...I’d go ahead and fire all of the people connected to the funding and the way it was spent.
“Water Bonds”, California style...
2005 - Don’t touch that stove, its hot!
Voters - OW!
2011 - Don’t touch that stove, its hot!
Voters - OW!
2014 - Don’t touch that stove, its hot!
Voters - OW!
You can put anything on a bond measure out here and there are enough idiots here to pass it. If you wanted to actually store water here the best way to fund and get it done would be to word its enabling legislation as so:
“This bond measure would fund acquisition of land and construction of storage capacity to manage excess quantities of hazardous dihydrogen monoxide. Additionally, 40% of the funds would go to the education of K-12 students on the dangers and handling of same.”
You ALWAYS want some mention of children or K-12 in something that wants money here. Extra passage insurance points are gained also by finding any way to insert “diversity”, “homeless”, LGBTQ, or “green” into it.
So don’t build a reservoir, build an impoundment for H2O that will be used to decommission guns through slow oxidation run by preferentially hired LGBTQ and homeless people with a children’s interpretive center on the grounds.
