Emergency Preparedness
By Rep. Dusty Johnson

BIG Update
Over the weekend, I joined President Trump for dinner to discuss legislative plans for the next year. In just a few days, I’ll be attending his inauguration to watch him take the oath of office. I’m ready to have a president in the White House who will secure the border, project strength abroad, and unleash American energy.
President Trump and Johnson
BIG Idea
The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee is off to a great start. We held a hearing this week to discuss the state of America’s transportation system.
During and after natural disasters, it’s critical to continue transporting and delivering goods in a timely manner. Unfortunately, federal restrictions can slow down delivery to affected areas. My bill, the MOVE Act, would make the weight restrictions on interstates more flexible during times of emergency to ensure disaster victims get the goods and services they need.

We also discussed permitting regulations that need to be reformed. The permitting process for a project in Europe takes two years, while the same project in America takes seven years. I look forward to working with this committee to reform our permitting system to let America build.

BIG News
The Los Angeles wildfires are truly tragic. Unfortunately, California’s policies make it difficult to keep their forests healthy and decrease the risk of wildfires. We need proper forest management across America to prevent wildfires from becoming as intense as the ones in LA.
Not only that, but California’s policies have made it take exponentially longer to complete water storage projects than in other states. Communities need access to water, especially in an event like this. Emergency and disaster preparedness is of the utmost importance in high-risk areas like LA. Our local and national leaders must do better.
House Republicans are leading the charge by voting next week on the Fix our Forests Act, that I cosponsor, to cut through red tape.

Great work, Dusty.
Dusty is like one of those little Marco types going to kiss the ring. Remember how hard he worked with those clever emails of “Tick Tock, Tik Tok”? Now that Trump isn’t going to blame Tik Tok for an election loss, the Chinese threat Dusty was investigating is moot.
Indeed, great work, Dusty.
4 days until the recovery begins!!
Recovery of what? Finding out the people you have been blaming for your problems aren’t actually the problem? Realizing prices aren’t going down, taxes are going up, and the rich will get richer on your back?
hahaha, burn, that is pretty funny
These MAGA people have a very short memory, this was the same scenario in 2016, and what did you accomplish? If Trump does something besides benefits to the rich again, I will be surprised and welcome it. However, all signs point to another round of new benefits to the rich. They have convinced you that any government resource that would go to you is a waste, but they will gladly take it and give it to their friends and themselves, and that is okay, because they told you it is…
3 DAYS!!
Would you like some more koolaid? The dumasscrat drink of choice.
Dusty is working his tail off for Trump and America and I’m excited about it. Nice job Dusty!
4 days until the leopards show up

Poor projecting delusional libby…stumbles got the boot and President Trump is taking over in 4 days.
I know. I am excited to watch the pain when prices go up. Trump even said it. It’s going to be painful.
Really, that’s your prediction? Just like when you libbies predicted the toe was going to win in a landslide and guess what…YOU WERE WRONG on such a spectacular level, again. Ya, I can’t wait to rub your faces in it…again.
Trump said it, not me. Even JD said it. President Elon agrees as well. We need to bring on a recession so we can buy stuff up cheap and the oligarchy gets stronger. It’s great!
