Pannetta and other Reps address Congress about wildfire budgeting

After the most destructive California wildfire season on record, Central Coast Reps. Jimmy Panetta (CA-20), Salud Carbajal (CA-24), and Julia Brownley (CA-26) requested that Congress include a fix to the disruptive wildfire budgeting practice this week in their must-pass FY 2018 Omnibus Appropriations Bill. The letter addresses the long-term problem of consistently underfunding fire suppression, a practice which currently forces federal agencies to steal from fire prevention and mitigation funds to fight fires, so-called “fire borrowing.” The United States Forest Service (USFS) spent a record $2.4 billion to put out fires in FY 2018, requiring $527 million in transfers from other mitigation accounts within the USFS.
