Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
As of Sunday, three fires in Los Angeles have yet to be 100% contained. In the meantime, a fourth fire erupted inThursday and is only 10% contained. Johnson went on the record to say he won’t “commit” to giving the state the aid it needs with no strings attached “because we have a serious problem in California.”
“That is just shameful. Americans are hurting right now. When his state was hit by Katrina, I fought to get aid for Katrina. I went with a congressional delegation a year later to see how the recovery was going and to raise issues about how slow it was and how we needed to bring more urgency to it,” Schiff said onSunday in response to Johnson’s comments.
“I am not going to go down the road for the first time ever of conditioning aid to Americans who are hurting with unrelated policy matters. We’re just not going to go there,” Schiff said.Earlier this week, the California legislature approved a bipartisan aid measure to the tune of $2.5 billion toward the Los Angeles fires.
This comes after Mayor Karen Bass cut $17.6 million from the emergency services budget, which directly compromised fire departments. Meanwhile, the hydrants in these communities ran out of water from their hydrants. The areas have supplied hydrants with water from nearby reservoirs and water tanks but have since needed to transport water in, per the Los Angeles Water and Power Department.
