All lies, what Newsom has actually ordered was for a cover up of why there was no water? You can be sure his own people will be doing the investigation. And then explain why nobody’s at fault.Maybe blame global warming

Newsom needs to get water to the hydrants now—whatever it takes.

It is his responsibility to fix it—now.

No excuses.

Pedo Pete said it was because the pumps were deliberately turned off. Maybe start there.

So? Nothing will come of it. Those hydrants will remain empty.

Actually the Fire Chief is already criticizing the City, everyone wants to keep their phoney-baloney jobs and will try to point the finger elsewhere. So there may be some attrition at least.
