Newsom adds LA wildfire funding to Trump-proofing special session

Politico  

“California is organizing a Marshall Plan to help Los Angeles rebuild faster and stronger — including billions in new and accelerated state funding so we can move faster to deliver for the thousands who’ve lost their homes and livelihoods in these firestorms,” Newsom said Monday. Newsom had been texting with state Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas and Senate Pro Tem Mike McGuire about whether a special session focused solely on the fires was necessary, the governor said on “Pod Save America” over the weekend. People “are scared and angry, and we must act fast to expedite resources for clean-up and recovery,” Rivas said, adding that Los Angeles-area legislators will bring “feedback to the discussion as we consider the Governor’s proposal.” Newsom’s office did not set a deadline for passing the coming package of proposals, which will fold the fire aid into funding for state and local litigation against the incoming White House. “California faces two massive challenges: Horrific destructive wildfires in Los Angeles … and an incoming federal Administration that has vowed to make it harder for Los Angeles to recover, by withholding disaster relief and deporting immigrant Angelenos who have been impacted by the fires and who are actively helping their neighbors,” Senate Budget Committee Chair Scott Wiener said in a statement earlier Monday.
