This is crazy: “Some 30 large fires are burning their way - TopicsExpress



          

This is crazy: “Some 30 large fires are burning their way through federal and state forests in California, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. The U.S. Forest Service will soon have to scale back some projects designed to help prevent wildfires so that it can meet the expenses of fighting this summers round of fires.” When an inordinately high number of wildfires strike, we should be able to pay for firefighting with funds set aside for natural disasters – which is what they are. I have cosponsored bipartisan legislation that would do just that. It would end this vicious cycle and help protect our communities.
