About this sermon
The Los Angeles wildfires are getting the attention of Congress. While previously approved emergency aid is already flowing to the area, there's also some finger pointing about how these fires might have been prevented. Immediate aid isn't much of an issue. Just before Christmas, Congress passed a one hundred billion dollar emergency aid bill, replenishing FEMA and other agencies dealing with damage caused by hurricanes last fall. Some of that money is already flowing to California. But some Republicans argue state Democratic leaders cut funding needed to keep Californians safe and even sent funds to Ukraine. Representative Roger Williams says, "I heard today a lot of their fire trucks went to Ukraine, a lot of extra equipment. They cut the budget of the police, they increased the budget for the homeless. It's all backwards." Congress could be asked to approve additional money for long-term recovery work.
