Wyden Again Speaks Out For Wildfire Funding Bill

With fire season looming in the Northwest, Oregon Senator Ron Wyden underscored the urgency of passing a wildfire funding fix to allow better forest management in a floor speech.  Wyden and Idaho Senator Mike Crapo have been working to pass their bipartisan bill, which would fund the largest wildfires from a similar disaster account used to fund other natural disasters.   Wyden says the wildfire season never really ends now.  Wyden and Crapo say freeing up Forest Service funds currently used to pay for major wildfires would allow the agency to manage timber sales, restore streams and maintain trails in Oregon and across the country.
