Re: Governor Newsom Meets with President Trump Tomorrow on CA Right to Manage Water

I hope Trump asks Newsom, what happened to the 2.5 billion dollars given to California by Congress in 2011 to build Reservoirs in S. Calif.?
To date, NOT ONE has been built!!

Hi Jiggin, this is Bruce's grandson, Deavyn. I wanted to thank you for the jigs, I appreciate it a lot. They look awesome.
I understand you only make these jigs for select people, I'm very grateful.
Very generous of you. Thank you.

P.S. Do you have any jig trailer colors you'd recommend?
