I kēia manawa ua loaʻa ʻo CAL FIRE ma mua o $17 miliona ma ke kūʻai ʻana aku i nā cap-and-trade no ke kākoʻo ʻana i ka Urban and Community Forestry, pono mākou a pau e hoʻolauleʻa… no ʻehā mahina.
ʻO kēia lanakila hoʻokahi ka lanakila nui no mākou a pau, akā ʻo ke kaua aʻe ma ka Moku'āina ʻo Moku'āina hiki ke lilo i ka jackpot - he manawa kūpono āpau e loaʻa ai ke kālā no ka wā lōʻihi no ka ululāʻau kūlanakauhale.
ʻO ka ʻōlelo kālā mokuʻāina hoʻohui (i kapa ʻia he bila trailer) e kau inoa ʻia e ke Kiaʻāina Brown i nā lā e hiki mai ana e hoʻonohonoho i kahi hoʻolālā kālā no ka wā lōʻihi i hoʻolālā ʻia e pani i ke kamaʻilio ʻana e pili ana i ka loaʻa kālā ʻana o ke kudala cap-and-trade. kaʻa kaʻa holo kiʻekiʻe, nā hale kūpono, nā hana transit, ka mahiʻai, a me ka lawe ʻana i ka hana. E uku ʻia kēia mau mea a pau ma nā pae i ʻōlelo ʻia no ka manawa mau loa, a i ʻole a hiki i ka pau ʻana o ke kudala cap-and-trade.
ʻO ka ʻāpana ʻelua o kēia pūʻolo helu ʻumi mau wahi kikoʻī e loaʻa kālā i kēlā me kēia makahiki ma o ke kaʻina kālā maʻamau. Aia kēia mau mea i ka ululāʻau kūlanakauhale, me nā paka, ke olakino o ka ululāʻau, ka halihali kalapona haʻahaʻa a me nā ʻāina pulu. Hoʻohui ʻia, e hoʻokaʻawale kēia mau mea he ʻumi i ka 40% o nā loaʻa kālā cap-and-trade i mau loa. Eia nō naʻe, aia nā ʻano like ʻole i ka pāʻani e hiki ai ke hoʻolilo i ka makahiki 2015 i "make or break" makahiki ma kēia wahi.
No ka laʻana, makemake nā alakaʻi kānāwai koʻikoʻi e hana i kahi papahana cap-and-trade e kuhikuhi mau i nā kālā āpau no nā kumu kikoʻī. Makemake nā poʻe ʻē aʻe i ka ʻāpana waiwai kūlohelohe e ʻike i nā ʻāina wai, nā ululāʻau kūlanakauhale a me ke olakino ululāʻau i kālā ʻia ma o nā conservancies kūloko ma mua o CAL FIRE a me ka 'Oihana iʻa a me nā holoholona hihiu. A ʻo nā mea hoihoi a pau ʻaʻole i hana i kēia papa inoa elite, e ʻimi ana lākou i ka makahiki aʻe, inā ʻaʻole ma mua.
No laila ua hoʻonohonoho ʻia ke kahua no California ReLeaf, kā mākou Pūnaewele, a me kāna mau hoa hui ma Sacramento. Inā paʻa ke kumu hoʻohālike makahiki, pono mākou e hōʻoia i ka hoʻomau ʻana o CAL FIRE i ke alakaʻi no ka ululāʻau kūlanakauhale, a ʻo ka ʻāpana 2014-15 i manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia ka papahele - ʻaʻole ke kaupaku - no ke kālā o ka makahiki e hiki mai ana.
Inā hoʻonohonoho ʻia kahi hoʻolālā no ka wā lōʻihi, pono mākou e hōʻoia ʻaʻole wale ʻo CAL FIRE e hoʻomau i ke alakaʻi no ka ululāʻau kūlanakauhale, akā e hōʻoia pū nō hoʻi e loaʻa iā mākou ma lalo o 2% o nā mea kūʻai aku cap-and-trade. mau loa. Ma kahi o $15 miliona a i $50 miliona i kēlā me kēia makahiki, e pili ana i nā loaʻa makahiki i hana ʻia e nā kudala.
No laila e hoʻolauleʻa i kēia manawa, akā mai poina aia kekahi hoʻokūkū ma mua o kākou. A ʻo ka makana paha he kālā i loaʻa ʻole ma mua no ka ululāʻau kūlanakauhale no ka liʻiliʻi o ʻelima mau makahiki.
