They really do need to look into thinning the forests that are prone to fire, which would create lots of tangible lumber jobs.
With the shortage of lumber that business and construction firms had to deal, it would be a good time for the federal government look into thinning fire-prone forests.
This is going on far to long and it's partly because of the radical left and it's environmentalist agenda.
Not going to create any jobs. All the undocumented are leaving voluntarily or forcibly.
And again, as pointed out in that very report "Complicating the management problem is the fact that the State of California owns very few of the forests within its borders – most are owned by the federal government or private landowners."
So castigating California for something that is made difficult by the fact they don't own most of the land (including a lot of land under his ownership as head of the federal government, therefore in essence his problem) , as well as ignoring other red states with similar problems, is helpful? Yep, if one thinks, they can see these problems....
Jerry Brown took advantage and politicized the fires yammering on about global warming. Do you think he authorized setting fires to get billions of Fed money? CA is in serious debt. Didn't he lose a lot of Fed cash due to being a sanctuary state? Look at facts in this video about budget cuts specifically for fire prevention
No, Paradise, California is mostly owned by the private property owners that live there. Your point being?
California's tree huggers are creating their own catastrophic forest fire conditions by mismanaging public forest land (federal land is the state's responsibility as of the 2014 Farm Bill Obama signed) and placing onerous legal restrictions regarding controlled burns, prescribed fires, creating firebreaks, etc., on private land owners.
The origin of the fire was not Paradise, but Plumas National Forest.
Which is under state management as of at the latest the 2014 Farm Bill Obama signed into law. Hence, Trump's comment about no more federal funding given to California for such purposes as California state gov is mismanaging forest land in their state both in practice and by onerously restrictive laws placed on forest management techniques used to prevent fires and the spread of such.
The tragic loss of lives, and of less importance, homes, could be avoided if the state of California managed forest land more appropriately. Tree huggers aren't always right. Sometimes their convictions lead to loss of lives and utter destruction of property.

You choose not to believe these fires are partially related to climate change, this is around the 4th major fire in California don’t you see that as unusual. Well at least Brown got his facts straight, Trump not so much.
I guess this is part of his "art of the deal". Chapter XX: "Leverage"
What a disgusting pig this man is. While I wish no harm to him, or his family, I would not lose sleep if every single material thing that this pig of a human swindled from others savagely burned in a fire. It would be sweet justice. Let him stand in line relying on the goodness of others, and see how it affects his twitter rantings.
