There were some complaints about the formation of the Oregon Wildfire Council, ordered by Governor Kate Brown.
The complaints generally held that Oregon's recent wildfires demanded more robust action than some kind of committee. But Ashland State Representative Pam Marsh is glad to be on the council, looking for appropriate actions to curtail the danger of wildfire and smoke. Rep. Marsh joins us to talk about the work of the council so far, and a request to plump up the budget for firefighting and fire prevention..
