Let's start with the facts, folks. California is burning, and it's not just because someone dropped a cigarette. No, this disaster, the scale of which we're witnessing, is a direct outcome of Governor Gavin Newsom's egregious policy failures. As Mayor of New York City I saw my fair share of mismanagement, but this is on another level of incompetent failure.
First, let's talk about forest management—or rather, the lack thereof. Newsom promised the moon and the stars when he took office, claiming he'd address California's wildfire crisis with proactive measures. But what did he do? He cut the budget for fire prevention by a staggering $100 million. That's right, at a time when the state was crying out for more resources to combat the blaze, Newsom did the opposite. This isn't just a policy failure; it's a betrayal of the trust of Californians who expected leadership, not lip service.
