The governor of California, Gavin Newsom (D), is asking the federal government of almost $ 40 billion in fire relief, while demanding and attacking the Trump administration, and believes that the aid will not be without conditions.
The initial relief after the devastating forest fires in January in southern California had been authorized by the outgoing administration Biden, then extended by the “Continuous Resolution” budget agreement in Congress.
But California needs more, and an additional expense is expected on a supplementary help bill. Like Breitbart News ha reportedNewsom is asking for almost $ 40 billion, while spending $ 50 million to fight Trump.
Newsom has also launched new attacks against Trump, more recently sue The administration of its new rates. The governor has been willing to sue to block policies nationwide, while seeking federal assistance.
Newsom has caressed that they can do both and Calmatters suggestions That he still believes he will do it, because the pressure of the Trump administration on issues such as voting reform and water management is decreasing:
Newsom administration is hope that Congress approves a supplementary disaster help package for this summer. The desire list of $ 40 billion includes money for debris elimination, public infrastructure repair, housing reconstruction, economic development subsidies and small businesses.
…
The bipartisan team of Democratic Senator Alex Padilla and Republican representative Ken Calvert from Corona, with The entire Delegation of the California Congress behind themLead the thrust in Capitol Hill. The first demands to condition angels about unrelated policies such as water management and voter identification It seems to be decreasingEspecially, since discussions around a financing bill have expanded to incorporate subsequent disasters in red and purple states, including floods in Kentucky and forest fires in North Carolina.
…
Newsom said Thursday that he was encouraged because he has not heard anything from the Trump administration recently, whether public or private, reinforcing the president’s previous comments about conditioned aid. The White House did not answer the questions about Trump’s position.
Democrats as the representative. Brad Sherman (D-CA) has argued that he would be immoral to the condition of condition due to policy differences. After all, he has argued that the Californians do not deny funds to Louisiana about abortion.
What Sherman, perhaps deliberately, ignores is that California has a history of squad Federal Money: Included, more recently, spent Medicaid finances in the house while executing huge deficits.
There has been a growing enthusiasm among Republicans because a “special teacher” is assigned to Fire Help to California, as was after September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to help compensate for the families of the victims.
President Donald Trump himself supported the idea publicly, like other Republicans, including The representative Doug Lamalfa (R-CA), whose northern district of California includes the city of Paradise, devastated by the fire in 2018.
