California fire prevention took a hit the year before the fires, but the Newsom administration claims it boosted overall funding since assuming office in 2019
...
A review of last year's California state budget shows California Gov. Gavin Newsom cut funding for wildfire and forest resilience by more than $100 million.
The budget, signed in June and covering the 2024-25 fiscal year, eliminated $101 million from seven "wildfire and forest resilience" programs
...
The California fires, responsible for destroying more than 10,000 buildings in the Los Angeles area, are still not contained.

honestly it’s not even the amount so much as the management OF the amount.
(For those of you unfamiliar, wildfires have ravage California for the past 10 years, and more. I'm not even sure the current one is even in the top 5 of area burned.)
Sounds almost like this whole fiasco was...well....planned!!!
Like in Maui.
He owns this.
It will end him.
I have VERY reliable sources that say Newsom is backtracking this ASAP.
He is in his own firestorm and the DNC is scared to death that the Hollywood money train may be over.

I don’t think he’s got much to worry about.
Unless the fire/s wipe out Hollywood, literally.
Actors and actresses are not too smart; just good at reading lines....
Yes, the Los Angeles mayor and the governor will resign. The LA fire chief saw the writing on the wall and threw the mayor under the bus in an attempt to deflect blame. It was the smart move at this point.
They will blame Gavin Newsom. They may demand that he resigns from his job. If George Clooney says he has to go, then he knows he'll have to pack his bags and leave Sacramento and return to one of his wineries in Napa Valley.
As the only white male in the fiasco, he’ll be the scapegoat if they can’t blame Trump.
Just asking the super dumb question. If these are the same people yelling at us about climate change and by their own theories fires would become MORE PREVALENT, why were they not just preparing but instead cutting fire protective measures. If planning for the worst as a climate change ideologue why is the most important line in the budget being cut!!! There is no excuse, none. Climate Change folks have no excuse for this level of incompetence, you are the ones lecturing us about these very hazards and concerns.
Holy sh*t! And didn’t he last year sign something giving illegals free healthcare?
Judging by the salaries paid to the top lesbian firefighters, they’re not doing so well.
One wonders if this wasn’t a planned event...

The Nature Conservancy was very suppotive of prop 4 and the 30x30 plan! Which is criminal coming from my southern Ohio perspective. ALL my traditional hunting areas are now impenetrable brush some 10 feet tall or more. It certainly doesn’t take a firefighter to project what is to happen. Wildfires...
They have some fancy words for their activities. Riparian corridor, which means to take lands associated with every stream, creek, or river in Ohio. Their very own maps reveal their activities. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources once catered to Hunters and Fishermen, not any more. Guess who their “partners” are now. “Back to nature” is the new buzz word. Check out their map of Maui for confirmation.
Greasy Gavin is gonna burn
“We’re working with the Paradise Rec and Park District to design an open space buffer for the new city plan that will reduce wildfire risk by nearly 70%.”
Sounds like Newscum has his very own partners too. Don’t fall for it, Trump.
