Carl Pope: Taking the Initiative: Can Anyone Explain This? - Sierra Club: "Shortly after hurricane Katrina destroys the Gulf Coast and floods New Orleans, data emerges to show that the capital of California is likely to be the next American city flooded out. Its levee system is at risk of catastrophic failure. A bipartisan Congressional delegation writes to Governor Schwarzenegger to ask her help in obtaining federal funding to ensure that Sacramento is not the next New Orleans."

Apparently he then fires the entire California Reclamation Board... This is interesting -- I wonder if the CA press has been covering this?
