Obama and Jerry Brown spent millions on a dam in California and did not do anything to this one. I forget the name of it. That must have been a pay day for some donation or a political favor. ANOTHER waste of money,fraud or political favor that wasn’t needed.
CALIFORNIA IS A giant sucking hole that needs draining.
Actually, it needs to be filled up, with water that is.
Instead of building dams and maintaining what they had, money went to their train from nowhere to nowhere. RATS are famous for making idiotic decisions.
Folsom dam received millions to update, and the update was not needed.
The 2009 stimulus package funded millions of dollars for safety improvements for a dam in California that was in “good shape,” but not to the Oroville Dam that is now on the verge of a spillway crisis.
Nearly 200,000 residents north of Sacramento were ordered to evacuate after fears that erosion would cause the emergency spillway to fail, which would lead to “catastrophic flooding“ from a 30-foot wall of water.
Despite more than a decade of warnings about Oroville, there is no public record of the country’s tallest dam receiving any of the more than $34 billion from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act sent to California for infrastructure projects.
Over $22 million in stimulus funds did go toward safety improvements to the Folsom Dam, which was described as in “good shape” at the time the grant was awarded in 2009.
