Manje njengoba i-CAL FIRE isithole ngaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-17 zamaRandi emalini yendali ye-cap-and-trade ukuze kusekelwe i-Urban and Community Forestry, kufanele sonke sithathe ukugubha… cishe izinyanga ezine.
Lokhu kunqoba okukodwa kumelela ukuphumelela okukhulu kwethu sonke, kodwa impi elandelayo e-State Capitol ingaba ye-jackpot - ithuba eliphelele lokuthola uxhaso lwesikhathi eside lwamahlathi asemadolobheni.
Ulimi lwesabelomali sombuso olwengeziwe (esivame ukubizwa ngalo njengomthethosivivinywa oyi-trailer) oluzosayinwa NguMbusi uBrown ezinsukwini ezizayo lusungula isu lesikhathi eside lokuxhasa ngemali eliklanyelwe ukuvala ingxoxo yokuthi imali etholakala endalini ye-cap-and-trade izoxhaswa kanjani. ujantshi wesitimela esinesivinini esikhulu, izindlu ezithengekayo, imisebenzi yezokuthutha, ezolimo, nezokuthutha ezisebenzayo. Konke lokhu kufanele kuxhaswe ngamaleveli athile phakade, noma kuze kube yilapho imali yokuthengisa endalini iyama.
Ingxenye yesibili yale phakheji ibala izindawo eziyishumi ezizoxhaswa minyaka yonke ngohlelo lwesabelomali olujwayelekile. Lezi zinto zihlanganisa amahlathi asemadolobheni, kanye namapaki, impilo yamahlathi, ezokuthutha ezinekhabhoni ephansi kanye namaxhaphozi ukubala okumbalwa. Kuhlanganiswe, lezi zinto eziyishumi zizohlukanisa u-40% wayo yonke imali engenayo ye-cap-and-trade ingunaphakade. Kodwa-ke, kukhona okuguquguqukayo okuvele kudlalwa okungenza u-2015 ube "unyaka wokwenza noma wephule" kule ndawo.
Isibonelo, abaholi bezomthetho ababalulekile bafuna ukwakha uhlelo lokuhwebelana oluqondisa unomphela zonke izimali ngezinjongo ezithile. Ezinye izintshisekelo emkhakheni wemithombo yemvelo zifuna ukubona izindawo ezingamaxhaphozi, amahlathi asemadolobheni kanye nempilo yasehlathini kuxhaswa ngezindawo zokongiwa kwemvelo esikhundleni se-CAL FIRE kanye noMnyango Wezinhlanzi Nezilwane Zasendle. Futhi yonke inzalo engazange yenze lolu hlu lwe-elite izotholakala ngonyaka ozayo, uma kungenjalo ngaphambili.
Ngakho-ke isiteji simiselwe i-California ReLeaf, Inethiwekhi yethu, kanye nozakwethu bayo bomfelandawonye e-Sacramento. Uma imodeli yezabelo zonyaka isekhona, kufanele siqinisekise ukuthi i-CAL FIRE iyaqhubeka nokuhola emahlathini asemadolobheni, nokuthi isabelo sika-2014-15 sithathwa njengephansi - hhayi uphahla - ukuze kuxhaswe imali yonyaka ozayo.
Uma kuqaliswa isu lesikhathi eside, ngeke sigcine ngokuqinisekisa ukuthi i-CAL FIRE ihlala ihamba phambili emahlathini asemadolobheni, kodwa futhi siqinisekise ukuthi sithola imali engaphansi kuka-2% yayo yonke imali etholwayo endalini. ubuphakade. Lokhu kungaba noma yikuphi kusuka ku-$15 million kuya ku-$50 million unyaka ngamunye, kuye ngemali etholwa minyaka yonke eyenziwa ngezindali.
Ngakho-ke bungaza manje, kodwa ungakhohlwa ukuthi kunomunye umqhudelwano ophambi kwethu. Futhi umklomelo ungaba uxhaso olungakaze lubonwe ngaphambili lwamahlathi asemadolobheni okungenani iminyaka emihlanu.
