Snip: The state of California has not settled any of the $1.2 billion in claims coming from the Oroville Dam crisis, according to a report. Residents, farmers, and local governments filed 490 claims with the state government in the months after the structure of the spillway of the nation’s tallest dam faltered in February. But California’s Department of General Services (DGS) has not settled any of the claims and has turned down hundreds of them, according to the Sacramento Bee. The Bee reports that the DGS flat-out rejected 347 of those claims because Monica Hassan, the agency’s deputy director, said: “they were more complex than the standard administrative claims … the department normally receives.” Link: http://www.breitbart.com/california...-paid-1-2-billion-oroville-dam-damage-claims/ With all the fires on top of the Oroville Damn crisis California will be stretched very thin financially. Should the solution come from increased taxes? As I see it with the California deficit and unpaid liabilities the State leaders are going to have to become very creative over the next decade to finance all of this infrastructure. Even the Oroville damns current repairs are showing sign of disrepair. All of this rest on the states citizens to foot the bill and they already carry a heavy tax burden. How much Federal assistance can we squeeze out to get things rolling?
California is floating on a sea of money, so much money they can afford to pay for healthcare for illegals http://www.politicalforum.com/index...ropose-health-coverage-for-immigrants.521348/
I think the solution includes more pension padding, higher salaries for politicians and bureaucrats, and unchecked illegal presence in the state.
