Dams, like much of our infrastructure, are not the sort of things that attract any attention. As long as they do their jobs, nobody notices and life goes on as normal. Even those who enjoy the benefits of these structures such as boating enthusiasts and those who use the electricity often generated at dams, rarely give them a thought. That is, until something goes wrong, and with a dam that could mean catastrophe.
Man-made structures need periodic maintenance. When that is not performed, they deteriorate. All of this is obvious, but it is often deliberately ignored for budgetary reasons. Fail to maintain a road. and you get potholes. Fail to maintain a dam, and you can end up with thousands of dead people and untold property damage. It looks like California may be headed for just such a catastrophe. More on page two.
Water authority of California corruption goes back to Moon Beams Father as Governor Edmund G. Grown. problem submitted to Governor, legislature in 1965. Think about it, check the records Sat on the Chamber of Commerce State Board of Economic development. Chose to raise taxes support Ceasar Chevas migrant worker welfare. This is the time it all started.
Moonbeam, you draggedCalifornia down; you fix it.
i vote No……………….. find the money you had to fix them,maybe it will wash off in the ocean,all the normal people should find other place to live and worrk
HE SURE TOOK CARE OF THE ILLEGALS IN CALIF…THOUGH…
Should have used the money spent on criminal illegals!!
DEMOCROOK LOSER
And yet California keeps him in office!
no support for Trump and the constitution so no federal money call Mexico
Brown has been too busy defending, housing and caring for illegals to pay attention to experts and place the state’s money into repairs for the dam. Why should the rest of the country have to pay for his idiocy? His total arrogance that his liberal agenda is all that matters should make him a target for recall, lack of confidence, etc. Doesn’t take a genius to know that if you don’t prioritize where a state’s money goes to actually keep it’s citizens (not just illegals) safe, you will come up short sometime!
Screw him.
