More than TEN years have elapsed since California voters approved Proposition One to construct new reservoirs, among other issues, but a decade later, none of those projects have been completed. It begs the question, “Why not?”.
How many wildfires have we witnessed in California since then? And what has Governor Newsom been doing to exert his influence to speed up the building process? Uhm… not much, except fighting for illegals to live tax-free in his State.
He has done nothing to expedite the building of these reservoirs since January, 2019 when he assumed office. Oh, yeah. He was indignant when Former-and-now President-Elect Donald Trump called him out in 2019 and 2020 during those years’ wildfires. And again, recently.
And he still has done nothing in the five years since then. Except blame everyone else for his failures.
He was called out for his recent dissembling regarding the lack of water in the reservoirs.
Now, it was reported that many residents have contracted with private fire fighting companies with a hefty price tag, with some outfits charging $2,000 an hour for their services. Why? Because the municipal resources in Los Angeles and the surrounding communities like Malibu, Brentwood and Calabasas, among others, are inadequate or unable to properly deal with the out of control fires.
Yet, Newsom plays the same tune on his violin as Los Angeles burns. Like Nero did in 64 AD. Blaming everyone else for HIS incompetence.
And what of the building regulations presently in effect? Will the State allow them to be suspended? Or will it take years to rebuild?
As for the CO2 emissions, more CO2 shot into the air since Wednesday than in more than the last five or six years. At least.
And as for the fire trucks from other states? Well, they are stuck in San Francisco undergoing emissions testing. So stupid!
If this were a TV soap opera, you couldn’t get a more fitting title for a show than this one:
As Los Angeles burns.
