California Gov. Gavin Newsom, d., wrote to Congress on Friday to seek $40 billion in funding for fire relief.
As Breitbart News reported, “Both bills passed to California to prepare to lead opposition to the Second Trump administration after a special legislative meeting called by Newsom after the election, when Newsom and the Democrats The ruling Congress has signed a deal to fund anti-Trump efforts, even if Palisade Fire and Eton Fire are still smoldering in Los Angeles.”
One $25 million invoice provides legal assistance to illegal aliens. Another $25 million is to fight other Trump policies in court.
President Joe Biden provided six months' worth of California before resigning. But the rebuild took years and Newsom – who launched an attack on Trump – is more pleading.
On page 14 letter To published Congress leaders PoliticsNewsom promises: “No doubt Los Angeles will spend this money wisely. California will ensure that the funds will serve individuals, communities, property owners and businesses who have suffered losses from these fatal fires. .”
Newsom did not make an offer to the federal government in return. There were no changes in forest management, no changes in water management, no changes in emergency services, and no commitment to reducing negative spending of $50 million.
Ambassador Rick Grenell said last week that there is a “string” in federal aid. Politics Report The Newsom is desperate to not attach the strings.
The author personally recommended President Trump to appoint a “special master” to oversee federal aid to California, along the September 11th victim compensation fund line.
The president accepted the proposal.
Less than two weeks after the September 11 attack in 2001, Congress explicitly stated provided Special Masters to oversee the payment of funds. Kenneth Feinberg was later appointed by Attorney General John Ashcroft.
