Governor Gavin Newsom is set to approve an extra $500 million for wildfire prevention a last-minute change that would more than double what’s in the current budget deal.
The change comes after CapRadio and NPR’s California Newsroom revealed Newsom’s administration had nixed a similar amount from this year’s budget. The investigation also found the state’s wildfire prevention work dropped sharply in 2020, and the governor had pushed back an ambitious fuel reduction goal set by his predecessor.
