Trump’s fault! Yawn.
Oh! The Huge Manatee!!
Maybe pull that 50 million back you were going to use to fight the deportation of the illegals in your state
Plus if rebuilding can’t be started for 18 months what’s the rush?
Funny arguement to make after the fires in Los Angeles.
Trump just got back from that mini conference in LA with the mayor blathering on how she was going to get people
started on home rebuilding the next day.
Today, you Rob and five other Democratic commies regaled the President for slowing the spigot of Federal aid. Didn't the
mayor already declare the low-income housing mandate for the rebuilding process?
So, you can whine when Trump wants assurances on how Federal aid is spent, but the Democrat/Communists are fine with
redistricting an area of tragedy.
I wonder if the unfortunate homeowners will be able to rebuild "without conditions"?
California get rid of all their “eco-experts” and start clearing brush and downed dead trees and limbs...Clean up the environment, they would not have so much fire problems...
““We need it now. We needed it yesterday and without conditions,” Bonta said “
So do what Trump says, and you shall have it. Otherwise, sucks to be you.
Much of San Francisco once burned.
I suspect the federal government didn’t pay to haul off debris from non-federal property.
San Francisco 1906
“The upward draft of such a fire was terrific, the air rushing in from all sides to a common center and being sucked upward. It was estimated that the smoke rose to a height of a thousand feet. To show the tremendous power of the draft, great pieces of sheet iron roofing ten feet square were torn loose after being nearly burned free from the wooden roof and whirled upward into the air, out of sight like leaves in an autumn gale. I watched a three-story dwelling house catch from the next house and timed it with my watch. In twenty minutes the cellar remained, nothing more. Not even charred and blackened timbers. Combustion was complete and absolute.
“It was interesting and yet terrible to follow the course and spread of the flames from one structure to another. An entirely new block would start from the heat of a building across the street with just a tiny flickering flame in the eaves which could have been extinguished with a pail of water. In less than two hours the whole block, solidly built and bounded by four streets, would show nothing but the cellars, and the fire would be one street nearer our house. From time to time the soldiers would warn us away from houses not yet on fire as they were to be dynamited in an effort to check the flames.”

As I have explained elsewhere federal disaster aid money that has already been earmarked for such recovery is not disbursed on condition of meeting a demand of the federal government that has nothing to do with the disaster. Even if the demand is related (such as certain steps to lessen the damage from future wildfires) that condition can’t be applied to current funding but only written into future rules/laws on disaster aid. That is the law. And like it or not Californians do pay federal taxes and as we are often reminded that is how the government is able to provide services. Making aid conditional on the government of California making political changes is illegal and punishes those residents who lost so much.
Oh and aid for wildfire recovery is not threatened.

That links to a recovery guide I’m having trouble accessing.
CalRecycle cleanup crews have discovered
significant amounts of asbestos in debris of homes
built before 1985, including in stucco, roofing, floor
tile, linoleum, fireplaces, furnaces, sheetrock and
joint compound, cement pipe, exterior home siding,
vent insulation, concrete and mortar, and other
building materials.
Asbestos has even been discovered in some homes
built after 1985.
A debris removal crew typically has:
• An excavator and operator
• A skid steer and operator
• Hand-sorting laborers
• A water tank trailer
• An independent monitor who records all work
and ensures completion
• Several dump trucks to carry debris away
• Independent safety, environmental, and tribal
monitors
More details are in the recovery guide.
If it’s Politico, they’re lying!
