Gavin Newsom Calls for Investigation into Non-Working Fire Hydrants
X ^

Posted on 01/10/2025 3:57:24 PM PST by TigerClaws

avin Newsom @GavinNewsom NEW: I am calling for an independent investigation into the loss of water pressure to local fire hydrants and the reported unavailability of water supplies from the Santa Ynez Reservoir.

We need answers to ensure this does not happen again and we have every resource available to fight these catastrophic fires.

Shouldn't he just look in the mirror?

Heh yeah. He’s trying to create the premise that it’s not his fault when everyone totally knows it’s his fault.

Analysis: he calls for an independent review then he will control who does it and his puppets will exonerate him.

NO CHARGES for the arsonist.

because the arsonist is an illegal alien that’s why..this city is a sanctuary city, therefore they are allowed to do whatever they damn well please and get away with it..wanna bet all of these fires are being started by organized foreign gangs

Virtue signaling.

Big deal. An investigation.

It means nothing unless it produces some results. Which by the time the investigation is over, the story will have dropped off the radar. He’s counting on short memories and not being held accountable for any of it.

Biden let slip what was going on yesterday in a dementia slip up.

Biden said the power was cut and that is why there was no pressure in the hydrants.

Powerlines have caused other wildfires and they cut the power to areas.

Now why didn’t they have generators? Guess that isn’t a “green” thing to do. So there was no power.

This call for investigation is this —

Get cronies on a committee to write a report blaming climate change or some underling for political cover. Blame climate change and say taxes needed to be raised even more.

Those houses in the Palisades were 5 million and up in most cases.

$50,000 a year for property tax and the hydrant by your house doesn’t work?

Democrats are incapable of self governance.

It's now coming out that many of the fire hydrants were non functional because they were cut off and stolen which also damaged the water lines.

Theft and disappearance of fire hydrants and resulting damage to fire fighting water lines has been a huge problem in LA for the last 3 -4 years, which coincided with Biden's opening of the borders and Biden's catching and releasing illegal alien “migrants” into the country.

The stolen fire hydrants have been turning up in Southern Mexico and all over South American in countries like Guatemala and El Salvador.

Fire hydrants have very little scrap value and they are hard to dispose of so they are pretty much not worth stealing to sell as scrap in the US , and they are heavy, hard and expensive to ship abroad so something very strange is going on here.

Possibly a fraud scheme where the thieves are in the plumbing/ fire hydrant biz and have a financial interest in the repair and replacement of the hydrants. They replace the old ones with new and then ship the stolen hydrants abroad?

I would not be surprised in the least if we discover that the LA water authority people have been shutting off entire branches of the fire hydrant pipeline network to stem leaks from stolen hydrants and damaged/vandalized pipes and pumps and that many of the stolen or damaged fire hydrants are missing or have not been replaced.

All those people who voted Newsom over the black face of white supremacy deserve to suck on a dry fire hydrant

He’s already looking for a scapegoat for his own incompetence.
