Study Shows Davis Could Have Prevented CA Fires By Replacing Himself With A GOP Governor Six Months Ago Instead of Selfishly "Remaining" in Office
U.S. Rejected Davis on Aid to Clear Trees
FEMA spent six months studying the governor's request, then turned it down hours before fires began, saying state was already getting funds.
SACRAMENTO — The Bush administration took six months to evaluate Gov. Gray Davis' emergency request last spring for $430 million to clear dead trees from fire-prone areas of Southern California.
The request was finally denied Oct. 24, only hours before wildfires roared out of control in what has become the largest fire disaster in California history.
dawkins adds: I guess it makes sense, though. California didn't vote for him in 2000.
