LOS ANGELES - On the first day of March, California Gov. Gavin Newsom proclaimed a State of Emergency to ‘fast-track critical forest management projects’ to protect communities at risk of wildfires .

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has suspended the California Environmental Quality Act and the California Coastal Act to help speed rebuilding efforts in the wake of the Los Angeles area wildfires.

The governor of California seemed to be reacting to the new L.A. district attorney's attitude about victimhood when he ordered a Parole Board risk assessment for the incarcerated Menendez brothers.
