Walters: Trumpies right to cut off FEMA funding for Oroville Dam Another potential (although remote) application for:   "Watch the Water" from Q post 847    California has spent billions on their high speed rail, pelosi's wall and transgender operations but not much on the damn Oroville Dam (or life preservers), that is all US taxpayer's responsibility.    California’s Democratic political leaders fancy themselves leaders of the anti-Donald Trump “resistance” and are engaged in legal and political conflict with the White House on dozens of specific issues.    Thus, when the Trump administration declared last week that it would not reimburse California for $306 million of the $1.1 billion cost of responding to the near-failure of the Oroville Dam two years ago, many saw it as just another front in the Sacramento-Washington feud.    In this case, however, the Trumpies are right, and California politicians should be grateful that the federal disaster aid isn’t zero.    The Federal Emergency Management Agency correctly concluded that it—meaning all U.S. taxpayers—shouldn’t have to pay for preventable structural problems that existed before the dam’s two spillways collapsed.    https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/03/13/walters-trumpies-right-to-cut-off-fema-funding-for-oroville-dam/
