However overall, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE)'s wildfire protection budget has increased sharply from $1.1 billion in 2014 to $3 billion in 2023, much of which took place after Newsom became governor in 2019.

So he gave in 2023 and took it back in 2024. How noble of him. Grin

Where have you shown how the union have reduced the number of LGBITQ firepersons?

Another attempt at deflection via obfuscation. What a tosser. Grin

Right. You've been given the opportunity three times and declined.

There were no cuts to firefighting staff in the 2024 budget and three classes of new recruits were funded.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/09/us/la-fire-department-budget-bass.html

So now we know. Union negotiations had nothing to do with any cuts to front line staff or any of the other stuff you made up.

We have it on record. You're fake news.

You can go now, Lee.

What would Frank do?

a) change the subject or,

b) start calling someone names in another thread?

Undecided

The old boy?

Oh, that's easy. He'd exploit an environmental disaster to regurgitate his DL's lies.

Then, after he's caught out, he'd follow through to steps b & c, before throwing a hissy and leaving the thread for good - poof!

Intelligence and integrity, innit.

Gavin Newsom Cut $100M From Fire Prevention Budget Before California Fires

Newsweek
https://www.newsweek.com/gavin-newsom-cut-100m-fire-prevention-budget-before-california-fires-2012980

However overall, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE)'s wildfire protection budget has increased sharply from $1.1 billion in 2014 to $3 billion in 2023, much of which took place after Newsom became governor in 2019.

Uncanny, isn't it? Literally everything the old boy says is proven wrong in 30 seconds.

And not just wrong - out by billions.

Explains why he's taken to hiding behind inscrutable Babylon Bee posts. You couldn't make it up, eh?

Not satire.

There is nothing there about firefighter cuts or otherwise. Making it up as you go along. Very brave of you. Grin

Nope. You haven't shown that at all. You have shown nothing. Just a clutz. Grin

Then produce the record where it says no firefighter cuts. Wink

BTW - "The LAFD has hired, filled, and graduated hundreds of new firefighters and paramedics, bolstering their ranks with dedicated individuals ready to serve Los Angeles. "

https://mayor.lacity.gov/news/delivering-results-2024-mayor-bass-lapd-lafd-and-c...

How can you fill positions if there were no vacancies? Wink

"The cuts, Crowley wrote in a memo from July 2024, resulted from eliminating 58 positions, adjusting sworn salary accounts, and removing one-time expenses."

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/california-wildfires-los-angeles-fire-chief-budget-...

Read the memo in your own link, Lee: funding for 220 new recruits.

Now, can you explain what the union has to do with that?

Look, we'll put you out of your misery now, okay? You've had two days. You've got nothing.

Get well soon, dear.

Or not. The old boy's been dead for years and he's never been happier.

Yes, how noble of him to triple the budget the old boy says he cut.

Year 9 maths, innit.
