they were keeping the outflow down the damaged controlled spillway to 55,000 cfs

because they were concerned of more erosion back towards the DAM

Transferred into the bullet train fund, and making criminal illegal aliens more comfortable.

Yep! The same two bottomless pits that have eaten up our road repair money from our gasoline taxes.

1. The illegals and permanent non workers, aka leeches.

2. The liberals, who run the so called services for the above. Services funded our and your Tax $’s.

When the liberals in the 9th Circus Court killed prop 187, they started the wealthiest state in the union on the road to bankruptcy to pay for the illegals to live and rule in California.

Next, when there were engough liberal voters (see the paragraph above) to give the rats a rat governor and control of both legislative bodies, the state really started to go to hell.

Along the way they packed our Courts with liberal judges to ensure what they passed in the legislature or by prop became the law.

I saw in one story that this is the first time water has ever been diverted down the spillway.

Yes. That is a question I ask myself often.

That “stimulus”, whenever I see “The American Reinvestment and Recovery Act” on a sign, my blood pressure spikes.

It was supposed to fix infrastructure, but was spent in my area on Health Care benefits for teachers, welcome centers for a state park, and fancy Dodge Interceptors for police departments. I can only verify the health care and welcome center, because that is what I ended up researching.

That crap just burns me up. What makes me even angrier is that it wasn’t even our taxpayer money that was spent. We BORROWED that money to spend, and just opened the coffers to anyone who applied for money.

“Where did the money go to maintain the dam properly?pissed away on social services to illegals?”

Partially. the entire California tax system is bad and Gov. Moonbeam’s monster tax increases were a bandaide that offered some stealth. And to hear them tell it, or at least part of it, they have the answer.

But following eight years of numerous budget crises that had California facing budget deficits as high as $20 billion, state finances are no longer in the red. (For this year’s budget, only and not the bills of the past) This development is held up by Brown, Maher, and others as proof that California is on the right track and that the massive income tax increases signed into law by Gov. Brown worked. However, California’s finances are only in order if one ignores the trillion-dollar gorilla in the room, which is the state’s gigantic unfunded pension liability for which taxpayers are on the hook.

According to figures released in 2014 by then-California controller, now State Treasurer, John Chiang, California’s unfunded public pension liabilities rose from $6.3 billion in 2003 to $241 billion in 2014. Yet that $241 billion figure, which represents a 3,000% increase over a decade, doesn’t tell the whole story, as it assumes an optimistic nearly 8% return on pension investments. Economists and public finance experts point out that more realistic assumptions about rates of return put the state’s unfunded pension liabilities at nearly $1 trillion, or eight times the current general fund. That’s just the state’s unfunded pension liability. Unfunded retiree health benefits are another daunting challenge for California.

“Retiree health care expenses are largely unfunded but are an obligation for the state’s taxpayers just like pension benefits,” notes the California Policy Center’s Bill Fletcher “The best estimate we’ve seen for unfunded retiree health care is $150 billion, approaching the value of unfunded pension obligations.”

Their economic plan was in trouble from the word go. Has been for years when they had to hand out IOU’s to the taxpayers for their refunds. And it’s getting worse since they jacked up the taxes and chased major business out of the state.

There is no money for the damn. There’s no money for anything. They spent it years ago using the liberal theory of budget. Borrow from Peter to pay Paul until they both are broke. Then break someone else until there is no money at all.

More likely governor Moon Beam's high speed rail project.

Governor Moonbeam and others of his ilk had other priorities and illegals is one of them.

In addition, the movement for dividing California into two states: State of Jefferson movement would give the more “conservative” residents a chance for their votes to count in the Presidential elections.

The Orville Dam would likely wipe out a good many of those people and put an end to this movement.

Two birds with one stone so to speak.
