Most of California’s forests are managed by the Interior Department. Why wasn’t federal forest policy changed if the last administration believed that was the primary cause of fires?

I think Interior tends to defer to state and local interests rather than following national policies.

That’s not how it works. This is, literally, land owned and managed by the federal government. It’s on them to manage it.

Maybe the areas affected don't actually benefit anyone in power? Probably not enough graft coming out of the timber industry.
