Cliff Bentz: “The western part of the United States is an arid and dry region.”

One of the things that’s a huge challenge is access to get firefighters in so they can fight these fires.

The horrific wildfires in the West have cost families their property, homes, and in some cases, their jobs.

And then you stack the California subsidy on top of that and perhaps the Oregon subsidy on top of that.

People who lose their homes and wages due to wildfire should not be taxed on the funds they received as result of these disasters.
