A U.S. Senator Pushed to Cut Firefighting Aircraft Inspections the Same Month His Former Company Failed One — ProPublica
Before entering politics, Tim Sheehy ran an aerial firefighting company, Bridger Aerospace. In the Senate, he has sought to cut regulations and expand the government’s use of private aircraft on wildfires, while still owning stock in the company.

🚩 1. Less public involvement

Bodling"...if the reorganization of the agency's research division is carried out as it has been proposed, it will be the end of the Forest Service's strong science legacy, current employees believe. One scientist called the proposed reorganization a "death blow" to research."
It's ... it's almost like ... the current administration doesn't know, or even care, what our Forest Service is all about!
"The government already owns most of the facilities it is proposing to shutter, internal Forest Service documents reviewed by NPR reveal. Of the remaining buildings the Forest Service leases that are being evaluated for closure, some cost the government less than $1 in rent a year, leases obtained by NPR show." That is, we're not going to be saving money by shutting down these research facilities and pretending to move the research to a central Colorado site with a lease cost of $1 million each year. It takes a lot of financial geniusing to look at giving up those crazy LOW costs to pay $1 million a year, and think it's a good deal.

How Prescribed Burns Can Help Save Taxpayers Billions
For decades, the US #ForestService has actively managed #PublicLands 2 reduce #wildfire risks by clearing underbrush & #trees, or employing prescribed burns—something #IndigenousNations have practiced for centuries. #Scientists have generally lauded the ecological benefits of what is also known as “fuel treatment.” Now, they say there’s another reason to support this approach: It saves money

Indivisible SFTell Congress to hold hearings on how the US Department of Agriculture Secretary can implement a reorganization of the US Forest Service in direct contravention of legislation that both houses of Congress passed and the President signed into law; and how the General Counsel is allowed to declare a duly enacted law unconstitutional by internal memo and face no consequences. 🙃
