the next time that we have really bad wildfires, it is not just going to be 4,000 homes. It will be one of our urban areas, and it will make the Paradise California Fire look like a campfire.
the key is the funding, and the fact of the matter is, it is more expensive to fight fires in the O&C lands in the wetter forests.
I would like to know if you could put that in writing in this rule that, in the case of inconsistencies of FLPMA and the O&C Land Act, that the O&C Land Act will prevail.
I really want your commitment to make sure that not only that you will work on it, but we will put our money where we need to, funding it upfront.
