If there is mismanagement, then the federal government has a bigger share of the blame than local governments, but playing the blame game doesn't solve problems. I'd rather think of solutions.

Here is the CA budget proposal:

https://lao.ca.gov/Publications/Report/4172

CA is a large state with 5 major cities and a lot of infrastructure to support. It seems you know exactly what to do if you were in charge and you can guarantee success. I encourage you to present your budget proposal in Sacramento and perhaps run for office.
I'm not pretending to know the solution. Even forgetting the federal land, you have a big problem. It's not my responsibility to figure out how to fix it...it's your state's and they've done a pisspoor job, like they have with your jobs. That's all im saying.
North Dakota and South Dakota have some of the lowest unemployment rates in the US.... and are the highest in infection rates per capita.

The majority of fires in CA are federal land. It's LITERALLY NOT the states job to manage wildfire prevention in those areas.

Not only that, what are you comparing CA's performance in wildfire management to? Certainly not a state like FL, which has a totally different climate and landscape.

Hmmm..

We have an ideal comparison right here in CA-federally managed National Parks. Two different bodies in the same region dealing with the same problems. Guess what: the federal government isn't doing any better.
