So all taxpayers are supposed to pay for dams that benefit a certain group of people. Why won’t they pay to build something in my neighborhood to the tune of $300 million. It is only fair. Right? Let the people who live there pay for it.

The Oroville Dam is part of a statewide system that provides flood control (necessary for the Spring melt) and provides water and electricity to the CA growing areas and the City of Los Angeles.

Los Angeles should pony up for much of the cost of repairs, but as noted, almost all statewide water bond packages are stolen by Sacramento.

Wonder if a RICO case could be made against the CA government ...
