The dam also got an unannounced visit by Gov. Jerry Brown Wednesday, even though he had earlier said he didn’t see a reason to, “hover in and mug for the media.”
His press office said he visited the command center and thanked the people working there. Photos of the visit were posted on social media, including one of him standing above the main spillway with acting Department of Water Resources Director Bill Croyle.
U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris is scheduled to visit the dam Thursday, but again the media is being excluded “for logistical reasons.”
