Mitigation and suppression efforts in search of money | Fire Lines

An occasional series of conversations with experts on the science and policies regarding fires. The conversation about forest health, climate change and last year’s wildfire season moved to the money side this week, with four bills dealing with mitigation and fire suppression on the agenda. Monday, the House Agriculture, Livestock and Water Committee signed off on House Bill 1008, which would allow local communities to set up their own special districts to finance local mitigation projects. It’s worth noting that the state’s wish list for mitigation funding is in the ballpark of $750 million, just for the most urgent areas.

People who work under the Gold Dome in Denver won’t like hearing this, but it’s the truth: Most of what they do doesn’t matter to anybody but them and often a narrow handful of vested interests.

Colorado Legislature Approves Budget, Sends to Governor Jared Polis

The Colorado General Assembly finalized the $34.1 billion, 2021-2022 budget on April 30, with last-minute additions for gray wolf reintroduction, short-term cash assistance and bullying prevention efforts.
