Brown is making a good start, but these are small potatoes. Unless he goes after entitlements and the education budget, he is going to fail.
There will be complaints about any specific budget cuts, but, cutting fire protection could be a tough sell. After the disasterous wildfires of 2003 and 2007, we learned how woefully inadequate our fire protection resources are.
Then again, we don’t do as much brush clearance as in years past. So when fires do break out, they are bigger than before. Also, so many people have moved to the back country that fires are breaking out in areas where we didn’t have major suburban development in years past. Hence, more property damage and more people affected.
Well, good luck to Jerry. Good Democrats now control California. Both houses of the legislature, the governor, and all constitutional officers are Democrats.
