You can't just tell people to come as tourists and expect them to do so, not to mention that the real reason tourism dollars are down is the lack of snow we had last winter, which was also the cause of the fires. If there is a vacation worth having here, tourists will come on their own. This is not the way to win over voters in this state; perhaps a plan for improving fire response or prevention? Some immigration reform plan at all, or better yet, one that will allow for actual immigration to occur? No, no, let's just blame those tourists for not coming. Come, see the ashes?
