I agree, and I know a few folks that are likely a bit concerned... including a freeper or two in the valley.

Don't worry about it Bush,Cal.Has lots of money.

If y'all get flooded, just grow more rice where the houses used to be. JK.

Seriously, I don't wish natural disasters on anyone (except maybe France and Vermont). Here's hoping that the worst doesn't occur.

Federal officials still are not taking seriously t

How can anyone take anything seriously when it involves California? Well maybe that fella in Fresno.

loozianna stole their money Rnold... what's your excuse for not keeping them up???

Well it's expected that half of Sacramento could be put underwater. That's pretty serious I'd think. I think this is part of Arnold reelection strategy to appeal to the left (Bush isn't helping us), middle (concern for CA residents) and right (preemptive action & CA not getting its fair share).

I have no idea how serious the situation is but these levee projects are not just a state issue and may have been built by the Feds or Army Corp of Engineers. I have no problem with Arnold wanting to prevent a problem to avoid wasting money down the road.

Since CA gets just 79 cents back for every federal tax dollar paid, we should demand every thing we can.

Let us drill, then we can talk about your water problem.

In my best Cheech Marin accent: "Drove my (67) Chevy (Impala low-rider with lights in the undercarriage and a 5000W subwoofer) to the levee but the levee was dry ..."
