Jerry Brown proposed easing the forestry rules that Trump criticized

California Governor Jerry Brown feigned outrage over President Trumps criticism of California's forestry management in the wake of the horrendous wildfires still raging.

Gov. Jerry Brown's spokesman, Evan Westrup, said in a statement, "Our focus is on the Californians impacted by these fires and the first responders and firefighters working around the clock to save lives and property - not on the president's inane, uninformed tweets."

Brown proposed changes in California forestry regulations last August that confirm that the policy of no logging and no clearing of dead trees and underbrush fuels the fires.

Months ago, California Gov. Jerry Brown urged state lawmakers to loosen restrictive logging regulations put in place to appease environmentalists - a move that appears to have confirmed that President Trump's recent critiques of state logging practices was correct.

The Santa Cruz Sentinel reported back in August that Brown was proposing one of the most significant changes to the state's logging rules in nearly half a century.

"Gov. Jerry Brown is proposing broad new changes to California's logging rules that would allow landowners to cut larger trees and build temporary roads without obtaining a permit as a way to thin more forests across the state," the paper reported.

Brown would prefer to blame his obsession: global warming, the doomsday cult belief that empowers governments to control and tax all energy usage.
