California Gov. Newsome puts gerrymandering ahead of wildfire prevention | Eastern NC Now

vetos fire prevention bill due to cost but spends $250 million on gerrymander attempt

ENCNow

Not that long ago, California was in the news for wildfires that burned up thousands of home in Los Angeles, and their government's incompetent preparations for such events that caused much of the loss.  Now, the state is in the news because Governor Newsome wants to gerrymander its congressional seats to favor Democrats.  Their congressional map is already highly gerrymandered, but he just wanted to gerrymander it more.

Where Newsome wants to spend money shows where his priorities lie.  While spending a whopping $250 million on his gerrymandering crusade, Newsome has vetoed a fire prevention bill passed by the Democrat majority legislature, objecting that "it cost too much".  The bill would have cost tens of millions per year, much less than the $250 million for his gerrymandering project, but could potentially save hundreds of BILLIONS in wildfire damage.

Those are just the warped priorities of a power driven Democrat politician.
