Democrats do nothing right. Proof again is in California where the Democrats spent $7.5 billion to build water storage for fire control yet not a bit of it was ever built.
The state passed the $7.5 billion bond in Proposition 1 in 2014, meant fund the new infrastructure for water reservoirs. But despite all the money and all those wonderful intentions, not a thing has been done in that ten years since the issue was passed.
According to The San Jose Mercury-News:
A majority of the seven board members of the California Water Commission, a state agency that distributes funding to build reservoirs and other water projects, indicated they are leaning toward dividing up the $453 million left over from the Los Vaqueros project and giving it this year to six other major new reservoir and groundwater storage projects currently on the drawing board around the state.
…
The bond can provide up to half the costs of projects, which are designed to store more water in wet years to offset shortages in cities and farms during droughts. But they have been slowed by the COVID pandemic, cost increases due to inflation, permitting delays and other problems, including the inability of local water agencies sponsoring them to come up with all of the matching funds.
…Only one of the six projects the commission has approved is currently under construction.
There is one project underway, the Harvest Water Program in Sacramento. But it is not ready to store any water at all.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
Wild fires happen, of course. But Democrats are responsible for the massive destruction seen this year.
There is no reason but graft for this.
