I need you to hear me on this:

There has been gross criminal incompetence. 

The 117,000,000 gallon, Pacific Palisades Reservoir was empty. 

11.12 BILLION DOLLARS had been approved in the past decade, and nothing built. 

In 2018, voters passed a $4 billion bond for state and local parks, environmental protection, water infrastructure and flood protection projects. Four years earlier, voters approved $7.12 billion in bonds for building reservoirs, recycling and groundwater projects and other water supply infrastructure.Nov 5, 2024
