Gov Newsom cut millions from the forest management budget just last year. Think that was a bad idea?

Look at some examples of Newsom's cuts towards fire defences:

$28 million cut from multiple state conservancies that expand wildfire resilience

$12 million cut from a "home hardening" experiment that would protect homes from wildfires

$8 million cut from monitoring and research spending, mostly dedicated to Cal Fire and state universities

$4 million cut from the forest legacy program, which encourages landowners to manage their properties

$3 million cut from funding for an inter-agency forest data hub

$5 million reduction in spending on fuel reduction teams
