New SacBee Story - sums up the frustration by Press-Public-Govt Reps on "secrecy" - Now Gov's office in the mix (secrecy)

A few clips: (emphasis mine)

"Gov. Jerry Brown’s administration is using federal security regulations written to thwart terrorism to deny public access to records that experts say could guide repairs to the Oroville Dam and provide insight into what led to the near catastrophic failure of its emergency spillway."…..

“This is very, very disturbing to me,” said Assemblyman James Gallagher, R-Yuba City. “We just want transparency. We want to know what happened up there and why this happened in the first place.”…...

“The terrorist issue is irrelevant – completely irrelevant – to what happened to the spillway and the damage to it,” she said. “The structural integrity of it is much more of a threat than ever a terrorist, especially at this point in time.”…...

“Keeping these documents sealed further undermines what’s left of the state’s credibility and does nothing to assure residents that the situation is being addressed responsibly,” LaMalfa said in a written statement. “As the Representative of the area in Congress, the concept of signing a nondisclosure agreement which could prevent me from alerting my constituents and neighbors to potential dangers is not just inappropriate, but offensive.”…..

Couldn’t disagree more.
Many US citizens have been, are, and continue to be in a state of terror.
Who enabled this terror? DWR and the terror-able way they’ve handled things.
Screw up things bad enough, and people become terrorized. Therefore, terrorist legislation comes into play.

To the degree he can get away with it, Jerry Brown is a dictator as is his leftist buddies. If you're a dictator, you put your own political interests ahead of the freedom and safety of the people you are supposed to serve.

It's what you do.
