Chief christiansen, its good to be able to welcome you back to the committee, thank you for being here. We say around here that the president s budget request is just that, it is a request. It does start the annual budget process. It gives us here in congress the opportunity to learn about the administrations priorities and how it would carry them out. But ultimately, it is up to us to determine what programs to fund and what levels. Although this years budget request is far from perfect, i agree that the priority must be on Wildland Fire Management and improving the health of our forests.

Lati. Supervisor haney and they shaped this into something that was truly connected to the actual needs within the system and on the ground, and so were confident that it can be successful, but were also very sure that theres a lot of work left to do. Its not fully funded yet. We have a commitment from the mayor, but we need at least 100 million a year, including startup costs, to be able to implement this.

So i know that the public is excited about this i hope they are, but theyre asking, well actually be excited the most about this when we see it bringing a change in our communities, and so thats going to be the next steps once it passes today. Im grateful for everybodys support and for everybodys leadership, and im excited about seeing this fully implemented and funded and lastly want to give, as supervisor ronen did, give a shout
