Governor Newsom Cuts $101M from Wildfire Budget Amid California Fires

Credited from: NEWSWEEK

California's 2024-5 budget signed by Governor Gavin Newsom cut wildfire funding by $101 million as part of broader budget reductions.
These cuts occurred just before devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, which claimed at least ten lives and destroyed over 10,000 properties.
Critics, including Donald Trump, have blamed Newsom for the disaster, labeling it his fault and calling for his resignation.
Despite these cuts, CAL FIRE's overall budget has increased from $1.1 billion in 2014 to $3 billion in 2023.
The funding cuts come as firefighters continue to battle uncontrolled blazes near Los Angeles, raising questions about the impacts of these budget decisions.
