California Governor Gavin Newsom has openly admitted to collaborating with Hawaii Governor Josh Green on plans to address “land use concerns” following the devastating wildfires.
During an interview with Fox 11, Newsom revealed his intentions to take swift legal action in response to what he described as “speculators coming in, buying up properties.”
However, critics warn this could signal the beginning of a broader government “land grab.”
“I was just talking to Josh Green, the governor down in Hawaii,” said Newsom.
“He had some ideas around some land use concerns he has around speculators coming in, buying up properties and the like. We’re already working with our legal teams to move those things forward, and we’ll be presenting those in a matter of days, not just weeks,” he added.
