Cliff Bentz: “Today, we are meeting to discuss four bills that address a variety of regional issues...”

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

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

Absolutely. I don’t have a study yet that shows exactly how great that demand is.

Mr. Chairman, this is an excellent bill, and we need it in Oregon. We have 30 million acres of trees. We absolutely need what this bill would provide.
