Thursday is the deadline for state candidate committees to turn in their first pre-election report. I am short today because the CDC has a guidance but it's now been yanked. I never thought that I'd be writing on wildfires and a virus, but it is 2020 after all. I'll be low in word cound today, but you understand why...

Here are the five biggest currently burning:
-From the Desk of the Dean: George Skelton writes that California leaders need to look south to the other California to understand how to manage forests and minimize fire risk.
As I've written before, this is what a friend (yes, we dated in college) who works in the Pac Northwest and is a wildlife biologist for the US Forest Service says exactly these issues.

After all, most of the big fires right now are caused by lightning -- a quintessential natural force. EMPLOYMENT: In The Bee, Jeong Park and David Lightman look at what happens to individuals as the federal supplement to unemployment benefits disappears.
