California wildfires strike Jacob
Associated PressANALYSIS/OPINION: The face of Jacob Saylors is an eye opener, a teary eye opener for the devastation that fires can cause. “Unfortunately, California’s wildfires continue to burn, preventing the immediate completion of specific and reliable damage assessments,” Democratic Sens. Therefore, we urge you to simply make sure that any additional disaster funding or tax relief made available for those recovering from hurricanes also be extended to wildfire victims.” They wanted to be on the record, of course, lest anyone dare level the question, “Hey, who’s side are you on?” Indeed, they need to ask their governor, Jerry Brown, who in 2016 vetoed a measure that would have required the state’s public utility commission to work with municipalities to ensure that energy companies do all they can to prevent fires in high-risk areas. Wrong move, as a power line is suspected to have caused the Camp fire, which has wiped out the small town of Paradise and Jacob’s home again. More than anything, the politicians should remember to think of Jacob on whose behalf I put forth this question: How long will it take the elected people of California to make sure Jacob doesn’t become a fire victim again?
