"Donald Trump has signed an executive order, promising to slash bureaucratic red tape and speed up reconstruction in the Pacific Palisades and Eaton Canyon areas one year after devastating wildfires destroyed nearly 40,000 acres of homes and businesses, the White House confirmed this morning. The order, titled Accelerating rebuilding in wildfire-devastated Los Angeles, was signed Friday, according to the White House. It's unclear what immediate impact the order will have and it will almost certainly be challenged in court."
"It called on Trump to release funding for rebuilding rather than taking over local permitting. Mr. President, please actually help us. We are begging you, the post read. Release the federal disaster aid you're withholding that will help communities rebuild their homes, schools, parks, and infrastructure. Newsom for months has asked for approximately $34 billion in additional federal aid to build roads and water systems and help pay for other rebuilding efforts."
An executive order titled Accelerating rebuilding in wildfire-devastated Los Angeles was signed to reduce bureaucracy and speed reconstruction in Pacific Palisades and Eaton Canyon after wildfires destroyed nearly 40,000 acres. The order's immediate effects remain unclear and legal challenges are likely. The president accused Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass of catastrophic failures in wildfire preparedness, response, and rebuilding management. The governor's office noted more than 1,625 home permits issued and faster permitting processes, and urged the president to release federal disaster aid rather than take over local permitting. Newsom requested about $34 billion in additional federal aid.
