Yes.

See what I mean Eberly, this gives them cover to say "Yes we do" ....

He can't even reply to the link which clearly states Canadian firestorm was caused by lack of fuel control due to legislation changes.

Then why is rsty saying otherwise?

Because its like saying CA does one controlled burn, ergo we do controlled burns.

Its not like they don't happen, they do, but they aren't happening at the rate or size needed because of the process.

For instance we did have a controlled burn at the county park, but it didn't burn enough fuel and this past summer it all went up anyway. Threatening homes and properties near the county park. Its really become a problem in the Sierras too.

Even in Canada, as I pointed out to DialAgain, the same rules the SC created here, are happening in Canada and thats why they had such a huge firestorm.

I make the argument that since the last reservoir was constructed (1979)

Its worse than that, 8yrs ago State voted to build more reservoirs, none have been built but money has been allocated.

Lets not forget the HSR, Billions upon Billions, and no track laid.

We do controlled burns here as well.

And your current alias says that, why?

Its obvious. But the point isn't this is it, its really your avoidance to agree that the State of CA is run by Democrats, and all your deflections haven't proven otherwise.

Last night in the Los Angeles DWP couldn't turn the fire hydrants on, and even with downed live wires, it didn't turn the power lines off.

According to the @latimes , Bass's pick for manager of the DWP is paid $750,000/yr

Wow nice gig.

Here's the kicker, CA government is backstopping as an insurer of last resort, and insurance for the insurance companies via FAIR

The claim right now is $52b in losses thus far. FAIR has a surplus of $200mm and only $2.5b in reinsurance.

All of this will have to be covered by State TAX revenues.

-So, your current alias seems to be saying that the GOP in California cannot even submit a bill in the California legislature?
Can they get it out of committee?
#183 | POSTED BY EBERLY

they don't run the committees, much like the Federal level when one party is in charge.

-They put the cap on it.
Meaning?

A price cap? If you don't understand the states interference in the home insurance market, its long and drawn out.

From home insurance, Electricity, Gas the State is driving everything into the ground.

The State wouldn't allow the insurance companies to charge what they felt was needed to keep the homes insured, so they cancelled them.

Do the Republicans have to be in control of California in order to have a say in the budget?

Yes. In fact, CA is so Democrat, Republicans can't even submit ideas.

Because that's how it goes with blame aimed at red states here

The only people I rag on in the US are people from Florida, and not because of disasters.

You're stopping at the pols? Not ragging on the people who voted for them?

Feel free to point out where I have ever done that?

Is there a single poster from CA on this site who doesn't use the term "red state --------"?

I have never used it.

And the continued insurance problems in CA that are going to intensify? Expect that to be blamed on CA government.

They put the cap on it.

You can't NOT prevent fires, then complain insurance is too damn high.

All 3 of the fires that started in Ventura County btwn yesterday and today were almost immediately knocked down.
Viewline fire just now - in less than an hour it was stopped.
Also immediately had 2 tankers and 2 helicopters on it.

Wonder why can't LA City couldn't handle the situation?

While these horrible fires are burning, we want to rag on the entire state of California, its representatives, and its people?
No. But it's going to happen. We politicize the crap out of everything.

I am not ragging on the people, just the politicians that made insanely crazy priority decisions, knowing full well there will be no repercussions for their stupidity.

The hits just keep coming ...

Eight years after California voters approved a $7.5 billion water bond to construct water storage facilities, not one project has reached completion.
And as I posted, untold Trillions of gallons of fresh snowmelt and rain continue to flow wastefully into the Pacific Ocean.

At least we are Trump proofed.

Lets not forget ...

Newsom spent time and energy trying to "Trump-Proofing" California.

Incredible, he showed up to the fire for a photo op.

I will put that on my list of things to keep track of. I'm really curious where this "faucet" is located.

The State sends trillons of gallons of water to the see.

The blame lies up and down the chain.

State stopped prescribed burns...
State mandated insurance policy caps.
1600 homes in PP sent insurance ending past couple of months.
State of California didn't fill the hydrant reservoir.
State of California doesn't manage excessive brush.
The Fire Department deprioritized Fire Fighting, not enough fire fighter.
LAFD cut budget $20Million
Fire fighters out of water.
Equipment shipped to Ukraine.
Homeless population making fires to keep warm.

Cascading Catastrophy.

A small country's way of telling the orange buffoon to pisse af.

Oh really ...

If the US gave EVERY Greenlander a MILLION DOLLARS - that would cost us $57 Billion total.
Less than a THIRD of what we've given Ukraine.

It takes a 51% vote to split from Denmark.

How many Greenlanders do you think would go for it?

I notice none of the morons are actually addressing the failures I am pointing out.

You guys got your little----------- going here, so just put your heads in the sand and save us the trouble, delete your accounts.

CA is lacking fire fighters now ...

In testimony to congress, Adam Carolla applied to be an LA firefighter, and was told he had to wait 7 years because he wasn't black, hispanic, or female.
