Ron Johnson joins GOP lawmakers calling for conditions on CA wildfire aid

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) has joined some of his fellow GOP lawmakers in calling for conditions on California wildfire aid.

NPR’s Steve Inskeep asked Johnson on Wednesday’s “Morning Edition” about if he believes “that it is Congress’s place to instruct” California “as to what to do on a state and local level, with, with — with forest management, with building codes, with whatever it might be.”

“If they’re asking for American taxpayer dollars to fund their mismanagement, absolutely,” Johnson responded.

The recent deadly wildfires in the Los Angeles area have devastated the region, destroying property on a large scale and resulting in numerous deaths.
