Insurance giants, including Allstate, State Farm, and Farmers, have either pulled out of the state entirely last year or limited the new policies they’ll write. The exodus left millions of residents scrambling to find alternative coverage in a shrinking market.

BREAKING: Gov. Newsom cut fire budget by $100 million months before horrific wildfires

Governor Newsom cut the fire budget in his state by over $100 million last summer. Specifically, he cut funding for wildfire and forest resilience just months before these devastating wildfires broke out.

Here’s more from Fox News:

A review of last year’s California state budget shows California Gov. Gavin Newsom cut funding for wildfire and forest resilience by more than $100 million.

The budget, signed in June and covering the 2024-25 fiscal year, eliminated $101 million from seven “wildfire and forest resilience” programs, according to a report from Newsweek.

The California fires, responsible for destroying more than 10,000 buildings in the Los Angeles area, are still not contained.

Cal Fire had a $5 million reduction in spending on fuel reduction teams, including funds used to pay for vegetation management work by the California National Guard, the report noted.

Other changes:

• $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

Newsom’s director of communications, Izzy Gardon, called the budget cuts a “ridiculous lie,” in a statement to Fox News Digital Friday night.

“The governor has doubled the size of our firefighting army, built the world’s largest aerial firefighting fleet and the state has increased the forest management ten-fold since he took office,” she wrote. “Facts matter.”

His office attached statistics that refer to the overall increase in spending and personnel over a number of years since he took office in 2019, as opposed to commenting on the most recent cuts.

California has wildfires nearly every year and yet Democrats love cutting budgets related to fire prevention for some reason. It’s the absurdity of leftist politics. They would rather focus on transgenderism, fighting Donald Trump, climate change instead of actually protecting the very people who voted them into office. They all need to go.

Los Angeles Mayor ordered $49 mn cut in Fire dept’s budget week before wildfire,

Los Angeles Wildfire: A week before the beginning of the catastrophic wildfire in Los Angeles, California, Mayor Karen Bass ordered an additional $49 million cut in the city’s Fire Department budget, reported Daily Mail. The budget cut would have significantly reduced the fire department’s preparedness to deal with the disaster, which has already incurred an estimated loss of $50 billion.
