Mmmm... they need $306 million from 27 million people. Equals $11.33 each. Oh the horror!

I want to make sure that readers understand that the “water contractors” referred to in your posts are the customers of the Division of Water Resources. They are not construction contractors, they are instead water districts and irrigation districts. The water districts contract for a percentage of the water and then clean it, pump it and resell it to homeowners and business owners. The irrigation districts pump it and sell it to agricultural users and groups.

That means when they say that the uncovered costs are going to go to “contractors’ it means the California citizens and business owners not the State Division of Water Resources.

Trump is allowing CA’s illegal aliens to fund the dam repair.

IIRC, California voters were suckered into voting for a $7B +++ water bond about 6 years go.

Where did that money go to???

Someone has some ‘splaining’ to do.

The spillway was damaged——

NOT the DAM itself.

California Lawmakers have stated that they want I-5 & Hwy 99 to have NO speed limits.

Hwy 99 goes thru many small agricultural towns.
