"A bipartisan movement is building in Congress to reform the forest management practices of the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), despite environmentalists’ charge that the moves give too much power to the logging industry, The Washington Post reports.The USFS has spent over $2 billion so far on wildfire suppression in 2017’s record setting fire season. The Trump administration is urging Congress to reform the USFS’s forest management funding dynamics and policies as the agency spends over half its budget fighting fires, according to a press release last week."
