  1. That's not going to happen. I live here in LA County.

  3.  @Diponty  Weird, non from Oregon would even pass through Sacramento, we have no inspection stations for that, we have weigh stations and brake checks, phew!

  4. In this case, and I live here, this stuff came from the bottom up for over 30 years.

  5. I didn't and Newsome had nothing to do with the fires one way or another. I live here in LA County.

  6. Bullet Train started while Newsom was still in High School, 1996.

  7. False, they would not have entered on I-80 either, and we don't have inspection stations for that. Rental cars and trucks cross those state lines all the time. I do myself. nonsense.

  8. If you look at the history of wind driven firestorms in Los Angeles they span both political parties. The Bel-Air fire in 1961 was under our famously racist Mayor Sam Yorty. Both Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and George Deukmejian GOP, also saw huge conflagrations under their watch. This spans all ideology and goes to some personal responsibility of homeowners. I live here, lived in both areas that burned, and had family in Brentwood that evacuated. Doug, you are too far away. I agree with the DEI but just as the reservoir down was not the issue, neither is DEI.

  9. @ no, no it is not. and if we press this false attack we will lose the war against DEI.

  10. Los Angeles County is 5,000 square miles, 9 million people, Pacific Palisades is a small area of only 24,000. The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP )is run by a commission appointed by the Mayor and City council together, but really has more power that the mayor's office. LA did not burn down and the primary role of firefighters in firestorms is human safety not property. If you've ever been in one, and I have, you would understand. I live you Douglass, but you have this one WRONG.

  11.  @Qbert2803  Jerry Brown and Arnold Schwarzenegger, too. You have strong opinions but weak knowledge, bad combo.

  12.  @Qbert2803  ? I lived in San Francisco in Pelosi's district in the 1980s when Kamala enrolled at Hastings, our family was friends with both Willie Brown and Moscone. Here in Los Angeles my step-mother was a delegate to the 1980 Dem National convention and Mayor Tom Bradley gave her a city proclamation at a reception in Pacific Palisades attended by freshman Congresswoman Maxine Waters. I've forgotten more than you will ever know about California politics.

  13. In 2022, Governor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order to help California build water resilience amid climate-driven extreme weather. The order aimed to *capture and conserve storm runoff* by facilitating groundwater recharge projects and other conservation measures. The executive order included provisions to protect water reserves, replace and replenish rain and snowfall, and expand the state's capacity to capture storm runoff in wet years. It also continued conservation measures and allowed the State Water Board to reevaluate requirements for reservoir releases and diversion limitations. Los Angeles captured 96 billion gallons of storm runoff, enough for 2.4 million homes for a year, with expansion of catch basins ongoing in Los Angeles County and counties east of us. I voted for Newsom recall, hope fires end his career, but we should not lie about him they way others lied about Trump. Newsom had nothing to do with recent LA Fires. DEI yes, fires no. I live in LA County.

  15.  @roberte5057  others have trolled this drivel in other places, not sarcasm, but sadism. some people enjoy causing pain

  16. FALSE FALSE FALSE. Why lie like that? Newsom signed executive orders to allow for storm runoff to be used to recharge catch basins in Los Angeles In 2022/23 we captured 96 billion gallons of runoff into the San Fernando Valley catch basin, enough for 2.4 million homes for a year. The Sacramento Delta that needs the storm runoff is 500 miles away from these fires in Los Angeles. NO CONNECTION.
