The Local ABC Affilliate highlights a wonderful little Blame Game (the video is the “Blame Game” By the Manges) in the Tahoe Angora Fire. You see, the local city councilmen and county supervisors are blaming each other, and the mean, mean environmentalists for not clearing fuel (ie dead plant matter) from the forests near the fire zone. You can watch the story here.
Already the finger pointing has started. A South Lake Tahoe city councilman is blaming environmentalists for slowing efforts to clean out dead trees and brush around Lake Tahoe. The fire was less than 24 hours old before multiple groups were being blamed for not doing enough to prevent it. (ABC7 6/27/07)
