Please note that Mary Hufty resigned from PVNU in August of 2022 before she ran for elected office (as she did before when she ran for office previously). Therefore the paragraph above citing that she is on PVNU's Board of Directors is inaccurate. A correction should be printed!
She is the founder of PVNU and a previous Board member.

Hi there, until yesterday she was listed on their website as I director. I can change her title now that it's been removed from the website.

Thank you for this reporting, Angela. However, you should note that the January Don Bullard letter in question is from Jan-2022, not Jan-2023. That letter is 17 months old, and since that date, WFPD initiated a Flamemapper project to hazard-map the District. An initial map was presented in Jan-2023, but the public has heard no update since.

@MJ, the header on the letter actually has a typo in the date line. The letter goes on to reference events multiple events in 2022, so I'm pretty certain this was a letter from January 2023

Glad to see Llawsuit Lloyd is back at it. It’d been too many months…I thought he didn’t care anymore.
I don’t know why we bother with democratically-elected representatives when he alone can fix this.

Totally unrelated: look at the Turcott property on Google Maps. It is a pile of tinder leading up to multiple structures on stilts like a well-prepared bonfire. If he spent a fraction of his lecture time actually tending to his property, all of PV would be materially safer.

Angela, you wrote:
"Cal Fire considered both views and agreed with the district on the danger in the Highlands neighborhood, but not the other areas."
Can you provide your source for this statement? I believe it's incorrect.
thanks,
Bob Turcott
