Dahle's Celebrate allocation of more than $30 million in Wildfire Prevention Grants they helped negotiate for their Districts

 

The Governor's Office recently announced the allocation of $138 million for wildfire prevention grants statewide to help mitigate the risk of catastrophic wildfire. In budget negotiations for this year’s wildfire prevention funding, Senator and Assemblywoman Dahle identified a list of unfunded, shovel-ready projects throughout the First Assembly and Senate District prepared for immediate funding to fire safe communities.

Senator and Assemblywoman Dahle released the following statement in response to the governor's announced funding and its inclusion of over $30 million to Fire Safe Councils in their districts who will now have the resources to complete several critical projects:

"We are excited to announce the data we gathered on unfunded projects was prioritized in the governor's funding, and thankful for his trust in our local Fire Safe Councils abilities to do this critical work. Our local Fire Safe Councils will be able to use this $30 million to complete vegetation management projects that have been ready and waiting for state funding. This funding will give our brave firefighters a fighting chance to stop catastrophic fires before they destroy more lives, property, and livelihoods."

"Over the last two years, more than 6 million acres have been destroyed by wildfire, much of which could have been avoided had we begun decades ago to mimic nature by clearing unnatural undergrowth mechanically and with controlled burns."

"This new funding will give our communities some of the resources necessary to prioritize areas that are prone or in danger of future wildfires, establishing much-needed firebreaks to protect communities. However, this is only a drop in the bucket compared to the scale and financial resources we will need to treat the millions of acres of forest in California. State and federal officials also need to focus on mobilizing the timber industry, reducing environmental regulation and costly red tape that holds up projects, and commit substantial, ongoing funds to wildfire prevention. We will continue to push for these reforms and fight to bring additional resources to our districts to create a safer North State."

A full list of the 2021 Fire Prevention Grant recipients can be found here.

California voters passed Proposition 19 last November and the measure is now fully effective. Proposition 19 expanded the law allowing certain homeowners to transfer their base year value when they move to a new primary residence and significantly changed the exclusion for intergenerational transfers. Although the implementation timeline was tight, Board Members have been working closely with BOE staff, County Assessors, and the state Legislature to get as much clarification on the measure as possible.
 
Senate Bill 539 (Hertzberg), which will help clarify many vague and inconsistent provisions of the law, passed out of the Legislature and now sits on the Governor's desk. The Governor has until October 10 to sign or veto bills sent to him during the final weeks of the regular session.

While this bill awaits a final decision, BOE staff continue updating its Proposition 19 guidance. These updates can be found on my website.
