California is asking the federal government to pay 75 percent of the hundreds of millions of dollars in repairs to the badly damaged spillways at the nation's tallest dam, a state water agency spokeswoman said Monday.

I think we need to declare the Oroville Dam a sanctuary dam and keep it free from federal intervention.

Nope. Don’t do it, President Trump....don’t let it happen.
They diverted state money away from maintenance of that dam for years to fund their insane liberal ideas & programs. Besides, they hate us, blackballing wall contractors and pushing sanctuary cities. DON’T DO IT.....let them figure it out since they’re so smart.

No way! Stop paying for liberal nut causes and spend the money to fix their own state.

Like a 19 year old who wants to be independent, except for utilities, insurance, car repair, food, house payments.

Probably some way the ultra high speed railroad fiasco is written that prevents any of the funding from being “diverted” to any other state project. Fidiots.

Sacto is raising money to fight law enforcement on sanctuary
cities. Screw them (and I own property in CA).

Remember it is still early in the Trump Administration. Just how to turn off the Federal spigots to prevent flow to undesirable and undeserving locales is akin to learning to play a complicated instrument. Eventually the Obama commissars and apparatchiks will be purged and right minded people will do what is necessary.

The dam repairs are their own dam problem. When given the dam money before what did they spend the dam money on? The dam repairs? Wasn’t the dam funding in the porkulus bill?
No, they spent it on the dam illegals.

Trump should declare that any contractors working on the dam project will be disbarred from contracts on building the wall.

I read somewhere that California received $25 million in Obama stimulus funds in 2009 and spent $0 of it on dam maintenance.

“...let them figure it out since they’re so smart...”

Atheists who hate people of faith can’t expect people of faith in the rest of the country to come to their aid after they’ve spent generations attempting to destroy religious faith.

So, since they’re brilliant atheists, let them figure out how their atheism can help them to magically fix a damn that has been neglected by their atheist brilliance.

IMHO

Before any additional Federal money is spent on this we need an accounting of where all the money they were given in the past to maintain the dam went. If any of it went to things that were not the dam (yes, I already know they spent it on everything but the dam) then no money should be issued and the Feds should announce who was responsible for the redirection of funds, what they spent it on and why they will get no more money.
