Sen. Cantwell rips Trump administration's wildfire fighting budget - June 2017
Wildfire season is upon us as was evident with a fire near the Chelan Airport Monday, where the Carlton Complex Fire devastated the area in 2015.
On Thursday Sen. Maria Cantwell questioned the U.S. Forest Service Chief about wildfire fighting cuts the Trump Administration’s 2018 budget proposal. The proposal would cut $300 Million in funding for fire suppression or firefighting.
“I don't see how the President's budget even begins to allow the Forest Service to fulfill its motto of caring for the land and serving the people,” Cantwell said to Forest Service Chief Thomas Tidwell.
