Top 10 L.A. Firestorm Flubs: Another Democrat Debacle

As if America needed another body blow, an abject lesson in "how not to govern" has been delivered to us by Democrats in California.

A state with a bigger budget than all but a few large countries has been unable to deal with a wildfire that started on January 7. Most regions of the world could have prevented and addressed a fire that started more than a week ago. But not California.

Here are the Top 10 reasons Democrats should never be allowed to govern again *:

  1. Water Management and Hydrant Availability: The incident with the Santa Ynez Reservoir being offline and empty highlighted a critical oversight in water supply management for firefighting. The reservoir had been taken offline to adhere to EPA mandates regarding bird poop. Ensuring adequate water pressure and availability in hydrants, especially during known high-risk fire seasons, should have been better managed.
