Not enough money for federal management of the forests. Too much of the budget is being used for fire fighting.

Much of the fire in WA state right now is grass fire which spreads to the trees.

I remember when Clinton did that. All for whining greenies who have no idea the consequences of their actions.

That description is 100% spot on as some say. When logging is stopped by the private sector, the risk of fires increase and increases. Bill Clinton's move regarding logging was absolutely one of the worst ever. In Clinton's own Arkansas------the private industry in logging has mostly disappeared. I was at my relative's home for a summer when I learned about what had happened in Arkansas. The Federal Forest Service there attempts to do 'controlled burning' and to manage the species and the growth in the forest areas. Yes it provides jobs for some people there, but also takes away an industry that could accomplish the same and more in the private sector. According to my reading Arkansas is 80% owned by the Federal level. This mandate of Clinton's is similar to letting the UN have access to our waterways-------once one gets out of the cities---the homeowners face a totally different scenarios to be concerned about. Yes, My Great Grandfather was a logger! Caring for the land!
