\u201cSurvivors of the LA wildfires should be focused on recovering and rebuilding, not caught up by red tape while trying to attend school or fighting to retain state assistance because they received a donation of clothes from a neighbor. My administration is dedicated to making the process of getting life back on track as smooth and simple as possible.\u201d<\/h4>\n
