šŸ”„ It’s too bad @GavinNewsom didn’t have this mentality a year ago when he deliberately didn’t put out the Lachman Fire on 1/1/25 allowing it to turn into thenPalisades Fire on 1/7, which they failed to put out due to inadequate resources/water. Don’t let Newsom rewrite history.

I've directed state agencies and emergency management partners to pre-position emergency crews, equipment, and resources ahead of forecasted heavy rain, strong winds, and flood risks. When severe weather threatens our communities, we don’t wait to react. We get ahead of it.

This is what happens when too many people work on one project. Deadlines slip. Quality drops. And somehow you’re managing everyone. There’s a simpler way to do this.
