Too Shocking to Believe!

 
 More from Paul Zeek on the CalFire $150 Tax 
 
Here is a quote from the bill:
 
"It is the intent of the Legislature that the economic burden of fire prevention activities that are associated with structures in state responsibility areas shall be equitably distributed among the citizens of the state who generally benefit from those activities and those owners of structures in the state responsibility areas who receive a specific benefit other than that general benefit."
 
The operative word in the bill seems to be "prevention."  It is estimated that the proposed fee would generate 150 million dollars, which represents about 20% of CalFire's budget.

Assemblymember Kristin Olsen

They cut and slash the brush and trees, i heard Wilesnky say, so that the animals have no natural food source. Then they will be hunted down and eliminated all of them.

It is called a benfit basin....if you benefit indirectly from Cal Fire you will pay the tax. How many times has Cal Fire arrived to fight fires in your community? A lot> Then it is well worth it.

Now that's a lie. This money is not allowed to go to fighting fires. Are you a CalFire person or something. This will go to hire more clerical and paperpushing managers though.

It will not save your home!

Did you notice the word equitably? Aren't there 3 E's in Agenda 21? Economics, Environment and Equity?
Are you enjoying the environmental MOVEMENT, yet? You'd better become acquainted with what is going on in the Planning Dept.
