Congress acts to reduce the risk of future fires

​

The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the Fix Our Forests Act, a significant step towards managing America's forests amidst rising wildfire threats.

This legislation focuses on accelerating forest management by streamlining environmental reviews and reducing litigation that delays projects.

It aims to prioritize treatments in areas most at risk from fires, promoting resilience for both forests and communities. With bipartisan support, the Act now heads to the Senate for further deliberation, where its future remains uncertain amidst ongoing debates over environmental policy and land management.

Meanwhile, in California...



Democrats in Sacramento just voted to BLOCK $1 billion for wildfire prevention. Their failure to invest in prevention directly lead to the disastrous fires. They would rather spend our tax dollars to fund healthcare for illegal immigrants. Every AYE vote was to kill our amendment with this $1 billion; every Republican voted to provide this funding.

Even JPP Democrats are ashamed to try to defend their own party, apparently.

Good!
