California's legislature approved a $2.5 billion relief package to aid the Los Angeles area in recovering from deadly wildfires. Both Democrats and Republicans supported the funding, aimed at emergency disaster response, including evacuations, sheltering, and hazardous waste removal. Additional funds will help local governments expedite rebuilding and support educational facilities. Governor Gavin Newsom shifted focus from legal battles against the Trump administration to prioritizing fire relief funding as pressure grew from Republican lawmakers. President Trump is also set to visit California shortly after the funding was approved, raising questions about federal relief conditions.
We need to be able to move with urgency, put aside our differences and be laser-focused on delivering the financial resources, delivering the boots on the ground that are needed and the policy relief that is needed to get neighborhoods cleaned up and communities rebuilt.
President Donald Trump is set to visit California for a look at damage from the blazes. He's suggested any federal wildfire relief should come with conditions.
