Editor,
While we may not be directly threatened by wildfires around the Bay Area, we are directly affected by the resulting deterioration of our air quality. Regardless of our differing political views on solutions to climate change, all of us can agree that we want to breathe clean air and minimize health risks from air filled with toxic smoke and ash.
I urge you to vote in the upcoming election in support of Proposition 4, which invests in proven solutions that will help to prevent and contain the massive wildfires that now occur year-round in California and surrounding states. Without mitigation these wildfires will only get larger, more frequent, more deadly, with an ever-increasing amount of loss, disruption and illness.
Proposition 4 will fast-track projects to improve forest health and increase resilience to prevent wildfires, protecting our health and communities. Please vote yes on Proposition 4.

Thanks for your letter, Mr. Goldstein, but the bigger question is why California hasn’t already been investing “…in proven solutions that will help to prevent and contain the massive wildfires that now occur year-round in California and surrounding states.” Obviously California has had the money (after all, California gifted $40 billion to EDD fraudsters and is wasting $billions more on the train-to-nowhere) and wildfires have been around since before California became California. Vote NO on Proposition 4. It’s highly likely this money will not be used for what it was intended and instead will be funneled into wasteful spending and paying ever increasing union pensions and benefits.
