Ok….you will install paper ballots, voter id, and same day voting along with same day results. You will use all funds for dei and illegals to fund the restoration along with terminating all laws and policies supporting them state wide. You will terminate all woke and green laws that are detrimental to California citizens. Once all is completed the federal government will assess the needs of the citizens and award grants/loans for the remaining rebuild.

I will get any lawyer other than SFP to draw up the conditions. For a small fee of course!

I would tell him, Give a me a plan and a schedule. I will have professionals study and approve, but only if the project is completed on schedule.

No way California Politicians have shown any indication they are capable of executing a construction plan of the smallest task.

1st order, cancel the plan to go electric.

49 billion for fire recovery, if spent like the 35 billion for rail service. Only two road side parks will have functioning crappers while the rest of the 49 is consumed by the grifters.

no way

Trump needs to send a construction manager out there to oversee the reconstruction.

Newsom needs to agree to divert any spending on the stupid boondoggle high speed rail project to disaster relief first.

Any city in CA that declared itself a sanctuary city, exempt from some federal laws, will not benefit from federal funds unless they repeal sanctuary status.

Newsom needs to remove all red tape that might prevent utility companies from burying as much of the power lines that are now above ground.

End DEI programs in first responder teams.

Lots of stuff to do!

How about prescribed burnings like the rest of the country does. No need to purchase crap. They already have bull Doziers and skidders.

Yes. They must submit to an audit. And the money should have strings . For 1 thing, They have to tighten their belt a lot.

Can’t take $40billion from the fed ‘for rebuilding’ Then use their treasury to spend $40billion on bullshite

You’ve almost got to grudgingly admire the balls on that cocksucker.

We should not rebuild anyone's house or business. Roads, schools, etc. Your property, you insure it.

He should be told as soon as Cali passes voter ID laws they’ll get some federal assistance with wildfire relief.

No! Or tie it to voter ID, cleaning forest floors, water system tests that were canceled because of lack of funding, getting rid of sanctuary status in the whole state. Mexi-fornia pays $50 billion a year for illegals assistance. F them!!!
