Effort to persuade feds to pay for Whittier Narrows Dam repairs begins
U.S. Rep. Grace Napolitano has convinced the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to spend $393.2 million to fix the Whittier Narrows Dam, but she still has to persuade Congress to appropriate the money. With other congressional members at her side on Friday, Napolitano, D-El Monte, began her effort with a tour of the dam near Lincoln Avenue in Montebello.
