US EditionTrump Wants To 'Take Over' LA With Latest Executive Order
- On Jan. 23, President Donald Trump signed the executive order `Accelerating rebuilding in wildfire-devastated Los Angeles` to speed reconstruction in Pacific Palisades and Eaton Canyon, the White House said.
- The order says state and local permitting processes have unduly impeded Federal emergency-relief funds, and President Trump accused Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass of `catastrophic failures`.
- The order directs Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Small Business Administration to draft regulations preempting local permitting and recommend legislation within 90 days, while allowing builders to self-certify compliance, bypassing city and county inspectors.
- California officials pushed back, with Gov. Gavin Newsom saying communities need federal funding not a takeover of local permitting, while Tara Gallegos, spokesperson for Gov. Gavin Newsom, called Trump a `clueless idiot`; city and state legal challengers are expected.
- Rebuild data show only 16% of Eaton homes and just under 14% of Palisades houses have permits as of Dec. 14, despite over 6,000 homes destroyed in the Eaton Fire.
