He's being Gene-Gene-the-dancing-machine trying to deny it. But, he's a friggin liar!

The 2024-25 California state budget, which Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law in June 2024, slashed funding for wildfire and forest resilience by $101 million as part of a series of cutbacks according to an analysis by the state's Legislative Analyst's Office.

An analysis of California's 2024 Budget Bill, which covers its budget for the 2024-25 fiscal year, by the state's Legislative Analyst's Office concluded it slashed $101 million from seven "wildfire and forest resilience" programs.

The California Analyst's Office is an impartial body that analyses the economic impact of proposed laws and is overseen by the state legislature's Legislative Budget Committee.

Cuts included a reduction of $5 million in spending on CAL FIRE fuel reduction teams, including funds used to pay for vegetation management work by the California National Guard. This left the total available for this scheme at $129 million.

An additional $4 million was removed from a forest legacy program aimed at encouraging good management practices from landowners whilst $28 million was slashed from funds provided to multiple state conservancies to increase wildfire resilience.

Another $8 million was taken from monitoring and research spending, which had largely been given to CAL FIRE and California universities, whilst $3 million was removed from funding for an interagency forest data hub. A home hardening pilot scheme designed to make homes more resilient to wildfires had its funding cut by $12 million.

    Looks like across the board cuts and I bet if we really looked into (unlike the Aussie Fiction Factory) - we'd find fire prevention probably took a smaller percentage cut than everything else. But either way - you can't be mad about Newsome cutting the budget AND having a large deficit. How can he pay it down without finding more money somewhere? And you Brown Shorts are the ones always calling for tax cuts - how do you expect them to spend MORE money when you're fighting for less all the time?

    "Looks like across the board cuts"

    You're bonkers if you're claiming that Los Angeles budget got smaller from year to year.

    Well then I guess it's a good thing I never said that. 😘
