I don’t understand why Democrats just don’t outlaw forest fires. After all, forest fires are racist by impacting minorities more.

"It would create a wildfire intelligence center to centralize federal management, require assessments of fireshed areas and streamline how communities reduce their wildfire risk. It also would ramp up research into wildfire mitigation technologies and change some forestation treatments."

That sounds like Washington DC Namby-Pamby bullshit. Does it put PEOPLE, loggers, and dozers in the forests to thin them out, to remove understory brush, and reduce fire load?

That's the hard, boot-on-the-ground forestry work needed to restore forest health. That's what we see in our North Idaho forests all the time. What Padilla is suggesting is the soft office bullcrap that people in DC love.

Never mind “Fix our forests”...
What is needed is to “fix” the communist politicians who mismanage the state...

“Centralize Federal Management”

That’s all I needed to hear. No.

CA politicians and environmental groups are responsible for the out of control fires. They stop management actions under the guise of environment and instead get the whole environment burned down.

As a Conservative Republican from California, this is the first time I’ve ever noticed this democrat politician associated with anything that wasn’t dictated by his party bosses and likely oriented towards class and race warfare. Therefore I would be very skeptical of anything coming from him. It is hopeful that the names of a few Republicans are included in the group mentioned in the article. Forest fire reduction is a much more worthy cause than party politics and social warfare. We shall see.

More Communism will fix our forests. Kick the Sierra Club out of the forests and manage them properly will save them.

Start cutting more trees and get rid of brush. Problem solved.

We don’t need yet another agency.
All we need is the National Forest Service to do their job clearing dead fuel from forests.
And to get rid of Eucalyptus trees in CA.
Nearly all of them were brought in from Australia and they are very flammable
