The Mosquito Fire stayed calm Thursday night but that didn’t mean firefighters took a break from the battle along the Placer County/El Dorado County“Insteadline.of saying persistent, I’m going to say now it’s just stubborn,” said Cal Fire fire behavior analyst Jonathan Pangburn at Friday morning’s fire briefing. “You have the really, really dry heavy fuels, and especially in this previously unburned area (pointing to the fire’s southeast corner) … that’s going to create just a stubborn, persistent mess out there that is going to take a lot of effort to get around.”AsofFriday morning the Mosquito Fire had scorched 69,908 acres, destroying 73 structures and damaging 13 structures in its path. Another 9,236 structures are threatened and more than 11,270 people remain evacuated. The fire was 20% contained and its cause remains under investigation. More that 3,870 personnel were assigned to the challenging firefight.

Charles Hugh Nalley Jr. (Charlie or Chuck by his family, friends, and colleagues) of El Dorado Hills, Calif., died on July 30, at the age of 72. He was born in Compton, Calif., Feb. 4, 1950, to Charles and Betty Nalley (Cornish). Charlie was born the first of three children. He was raised and went to elementary school in Compton, Calif. He spent his youth riding the waves, biking with his friends to the beach and pulling a variety of shenanigans that kept his parents on their toes. He was14 when his family moved to El Dorado Hills, Calif. He met the love of his life, Jenny Wishart, his junior year in chemistry class at Ponderosa High School. Later, he described her as “the most beautiful girl that he had ever seen.” They were later married on April 21, 1973, in El Dorado Hills, Calif. They had two children, Charles Hugh Nalley III, and Bethany Nicole Frederici (Nalley). When asked when his happiest moments in life were, he said it was hard to find anything comparable to the days that Chip and Bethany were born. The love for his children easily evolved into a love for his grandchildren. He had a passion for public service. This started at the El Dorado Hills Fire Department, transitioned to being Sargeant-at-Arms for the State Assembly, eagerly becoming an o cer with the California Highway Patrol (CHP), and finally to the CalTrans legal division where he was chief litigation specialist. He retired in 2007. He enjoyed frequent family gatherings and vacations consisting of camping, golfing, fishing and boating in the delta. He was skilled at everything and an exceptional woodworker; he could make anything out of wood. Charlie is survived by his wife Jenny Nalley (Wishart) of El Dorado Hills, Calif; his son Charles H. Nalley, III, daughter-in-law Jessica Nalley (Long), daughter Bethany Frederici (Nalley), Grandchildren Morgan Nalley, Aidan Nalley, Amelia Sacci, Priya Frederici, Faith Frederici and Noah Frederici, as well as his brother, Kenneth John Nalley of Kentucky and his sister Mary Lou Phillips (Nalley) of Sacramento, Calif.

“This is a work of fiction,” declared board member Sean Hansen, calling the report “obnoxious and egregiously wrong.” Though the CSD disagrees with 10 of the report’s 13 findings, Hansen admits two are interesting.
“Most distressing of all, however, is the admission by the current grand jury foreperson, Marisa Nickles, in an email to District General Manager Kevin Loewen dated July 17, that ‘[a]ll records related to the 2021-22 grand jury investigations have been destroyed,’” the letter revealed.
As to the inaccuracies filed by the CSD, Loewen referred to hours spent verifying the county tax roll given to the assessment engineer, citing outdated information. “The hard part is we don’t know what the mechanism is for us to change the county’s information,” he said. “Not to say we live and die by it but that’s what we utilize, assuming that it’s accurate.

Not true! Looking at the California ISO supply charts Sept. 7 at 1 p.m., which should be about the peak of sunshine, the contribution of all renewables was around 15,000 MW. Solar was around 80% or 12,000 MW, natural gas was 20,000 MW and imports was near 6,000 MW while demand was near 51,000 MW. Looking right now, as I write this letter, at 3 p.m. all renewables are 21%, natural gas is 52% and imports are 15%.

But real range is about 20% less and recharging time at the highestpowered supercharger is still almost an hour as the battery is a huge 118 kWh.

I quote the letter “Understanding knowledge and compassion” by Tamara Janies: “Following the Aug. 23 Board of Supervisors meeting our town can now be known as the fourth least compassionate county in the state. In case you weren’t aware, we are one of the only four counties in the state that has no shelter for the unhoused.”
Then there’s Nancy Pelosi who, with her husband, has made an art of insider trading where she ensures that certain industries get fat government contracts while at the same time she and her husband are buying up stock in those industries and making a killing.

In Norway, because of government fiats removing consumer choice in automobile purchases, EVs are 90% of the market but Norwegians are finding out they have shot themselves in the foot. Electricity in Norway, somewhat due to other green dictates, is a dollar per kWh, meaning an EV is more than twice as expensive to drive than an internal combustion engine vehicle. In California new edicts say you can’t charge your EV 4-9 p.m. The grid can’t handle the demand. Just wait until 2035, when electricity becomes a scarce commodity as the grid becomes more dependent on unreliable wind and solar. Without natural gas, coal and nuclear to generate electricity, we are dooming ourselves to third world status. Can you say rationing?

Misleading indeed.
Prop. 19 (2020) repealed an important taxpayer protection from the California Constitution that taxpayers had relied on for nearly 35 years. When it went into effect, it resurrected the Death Tax on property owners that voters had eliminated back in 1986. Since 2020 thousands of Californians who have suffered the death of a parent have received notifications from county assessors that their family property will be reassessed to current market value, triggering a huge tax increase.
Battery costs have already gone up 25% from 2021 to 2022 and it is going to get worse.

firefighting operations. This was a calculated move by the California Association of Realtors, the primary proponent of Proposition 19, to tug at the heartstrings of voters using a popular cause.

California has created the impossible and a slew of adverse unintended consequences will occur. There will be a rise in home standby generators run on natural gas and propane. There will be a rise in used car sales and repairs, meaning used car prices will continue to rise. There will be a continuing exodus of companies to low-tax, less-restrictive states along with the skilled California workforce. Home values will fall, meaning less property tax revenue. Bad things happen when you take freedom from the individual. It’s not what most people want.

That might sound good, but the Legislative Analyst questioned whether the measure would really have a positive effect in reducing wildfire severity. Acknowledging that the measure could “somewhat decrease” costs related to firefighting “if the additional funding for wildfire activities ends up reducing the severity of future wildfires,” the LAO cautioned that the cost reductions would depend on how the money will be spent, whether the funded activities actually help and how severe wildfires would have been without the activities that were funded.“Allof these factors are uncertain,” the LAO concluded, “which makes the size of the potential fiscal effects on state and local governments unclear.”It’sdeceitful for special interests to pretend that the tax increases they propose will fund firefighting, just to fool the voters. It’s only going to make them burning mad.
