Ca Gov Jerry Brown’s family owns land in the floodplane of Oroville dam. He recently had it test drilled for oil (at state expense).
If the dam fails and the land floods, will Jerry Brown and his buddies grab up the land for pennies on the dollar?

“Brown told the Sacramento Bee in 2013 that he and his family owned a controlling interest in the acreage near Williams and that he planned to put a house on the property. “

The real question is how the ‘mineral rights’ are accounted
for in CA. Who owns them, what percentage, etc and do they
transfer with the land sale or are they a separate transaction.
Where did you get your info regarding the Brown family
property being in the Oro Dam floodplain? No where close
although I would love to see Brown dropped on the intended
water storage side of the dam.
