NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Some calls for service require a little extra horsepower or, in this case, bull power.On Tuesday evening, San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to assist the California Highway Patrol (CHP) after a large bull was found running loose along Highway 35.

The Department of Defense does not request enough funding to fully meet its installation maintenance and major improvement needs, a Government Accountability Office report found.The department sought to fund 90% of its maintenance needs, but the GAO found that the services continue to request funding for only about 80% of their needs, according to the report released Friday. The funding shortfall led to an estimated $285 billion of maintenance backlogs in fiscal 2025.“DOD has not fully determined the risks to its mission and to the quality of life of its personnel as a result of not meeting its funding goal,” the report reads. “Fully determining and communicating these risks would provide better information to DOD and Congress to weigh budget priorities.”GAO authors examined Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force military installations across the U.S. and its territories for this report.The report found that the department does not request the full amount of maintenance funding as recommended by its Facilities Sustainment Model, which estimates the average annual sustainment funding requirement for facilities based on their size, location and other factors.This contributed to the increased backlog of deferred maintenance needs. Even though in 2014 an Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition,…
