The devastating wildfires in Los Angeles have sparked anger and frustration towards government officials for their perceived lack of preparedness and response. The article criticizes Gov. Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass for their handling of the crisis, highlighting their failures to address the underlying issues contributing to the severity of the blazes.
In Los Angeles right now, it’s not just acrid smoke that’s in the air. There’s fear, anxiety, and pain. When will they get these fires under control? What if the wind picks up? What if my neighborhood is next? For those who have been evacuated: when can I go back? Why won’t they let me get my pet? Or my medicine?
Worst of all, for those who have lost their home, or in the small but tragically growing number of cases, their loved ones, utter despair. And a sense that the people in charge are not responding with the urgency, energy -- or frankly, empathy -- we expect. And that brings us to the other emotion that’s so palpable in L.A. today: rage.
Their 'green' bureaucracy has even slowed down or blocked vital work like burying or insulating power lines that spark wildfires! How is that good for the environment? It's time to stop all this nonsense. It's time for common sense policies and competent government. That's what I'm focusing on.
Let’s get rid of the bureaucracy that ties you up in knots of red tape. Gov. Gavin Newsom says he wants to 'expedite' permitting for rebuilding homes. Great! Except: what exactly does he mean by 'expedited'? Could it take over 120 days? For a permit to rebuild the exact house that was there before? It's all very unclear right now. But it should be instant! After the Northridge earthquake in 1994, then-Gov.
All of this and more can be found in our policy document: Rescue, Reform, Rebuild. It’s time for change in California, and this is the first step. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM STEVE HILTON
