The state has totally failed in stopping massive and lethal fires and in making sure that we have enough water. This is unacceptable: they have the know-how and they have the money. Our desert communities will shrivel up and blow away without water: we need to start securing it right now! My solutions to ending the fire and water problem:

- Declare that we are on a war-footing with fire, and act like it. That means standing
  up to radical environmentalists and clearing dead trees and undergrowth from our
  forests, and requiring people to build fire breaks around their homes and
  businesses.
 

- Use the water storage money that voters authorized many years ago to actually
  build water storage – right now. We need to have enough water stored to be able to
  handle several years of drought conditions.
 

- Pull out the stops on developing new sources of water – such as desalinization plants
  – and double down on water distribution all around the state so that those places
  that may have more water can get it to those places who have less.
