Los Angeles voters taxed themselves twice to pay for fire prevention services. Where did our money go?

In 2020, with 82% of the vote, we approved measure HH, which was a flat $68 per parcel tax for ten years intended to fund the Mountains Recreation & Conservation Authority (MRCA) to improve local fire prevention services, specifically including brush clearance in the tens of thousands of acres of the Santa Monica Mountains.

In 2024, with 55% of the vote, we approved Measure E, which was a $0.06 increase in taxes per square foot of property, expected to raise over $150 million to fund the LAFD.

It’s 2025. The brush in the Santa Monica Mountains is still overgrown, the Conservancy refuses to manage it, and our LAFD remains underfunded. People are dead and communities are in ashes.

Where did the money go?

A bill has been introduced by a Florida Republican to have Trump's face added to Mount Rushmore.

"I've officially introduced legislation to put President Trump's face on Mount Rushmore.

His remarkable accomplishments for our country and the success he will continue to deliver deserve the highest recognition and honor on this iconic national monument. Let's get carving!"

Grateful for the overwhelming, bipartisan support for the Laken Riley Act signed by President Trump today—not only a strong move to restore law and order, but also expand protections for the law enforcement officers working tirelessly to protect our communities.

"This entire hearing today with RFK was the dawn of actual science, where we get back to challenging everything to make the end result better."

Carl Higbie expresses his support for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s responses in his confirmation hearing as Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Today, I am revoking Joe Biden's extension of Venezuelan Temporary Protected Status that Secretary Mayorkas forced through at the very end of the administration.

This program was abused, exploited, and politicized. No more immigration schemes that make Americans less safe.
