Legislature Urged to Reevaluate CalFire Seasonal-to-Permanent Plan

A prior budget committed $39 million in 2025‑26 and signaled $78 million ongoing from 2026‑27 to convert seasonal CalFire firefighters to permanent positions. The LAO recommends the Legislature reassess whether to follow through on this costly expansion given current structural deficits.
