DEMOCRAT Governor Spends $25 Billion a Year on Illegals But $0 to Fix DamCalifornia Democratic Governor Jerry Brown spends $25 billion a year on illegal immigrants but
didn’t spend a dime to fix the failing Oroville dam despite warnings that the dam was failing for over a decade.
The Washington Times reported:
The flood danger from the Oroville Dam receded Monday, but California was hit by a wave of criticism for failing to heed warnings about risks to the spillway at a time when
the state spent generously on illegal immigrants and high-speed rail.
California Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, came under fire amid reports that federal and state officials for years rebuffed or ignored calls to fortify the massive 50-year-old dam, which
provides water to more than 20 million farmers and residential consumers.
“What’s Governor Brown doing?” former state Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, a Republican, asked in a Monday post on Facebook. “The same thing he’s been doing for decades — obstructing progress.”
Charlie Kirk, founder of conservative student group Turning Point USA, fired off a meme Monday saying, “California Governor
Jerry Brown spends $25 billion per year to support illegal immigrants/I wonder how much Governor Brown spent to maintain the Oroville Dam?”
The Democrat Governor was warned for more than a decade…
Mercury News reported:
More than a decade ago, federal and state officials and some of California’s largest water agencies rejected concerns that the massive earthen spillway at Oroville Dam —
at risk of collapse Sunday night and prompting the evacuation of 185,000 people — could erode during heavy winter rains and cause a catastrophe…
…“A loss of crest control could not only cause additional damage to project lands and facilities but also cause damages and threaten lives in the protected floodplain downstream,” the groups wrote.
Democrats have their priorities so screwed up it’s a miracle this kind of nightmare doesn’t happen more often.
