After a series of town hall meetings in communities heavily impacted by recent wildfires, Oregon Second District Congressman Greg Walden renewed his call for the Senate to pass meaningful forest reform legislation to help reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire. The Hood River Republican says while there needs to be change in how the government pays for fighting wildfires to be more reasonable and rational, that’s nothing compared to the need to better manage federal forests. Walden wants the Senate to take action on the Resilient Federal Forests Act, which passed the House in July.
