Just when I can't hate the 🍊🐖💩more he is taking over California permitting authority to the federal government [View all]

President Trump announced Tuesday that he's signed an executive order that he says will move permitting authority from California and Los Angeles to the federal government as the region continues to rebuild after last year's devastating wildfires.

The order authorizes the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Administrator of the Small Business Administration to set regulations and sign off on certifications that builders have met "state and local substantive health, safety, and building standards." That authorization overrides permitting requirements that would normally fall under state and local jurisdictions.

How dare he do this ! I hope Newsom has already filed a lawsuit challenging this!
