I was hoping that since some Appropriations Bill has been passed, that our friendly “people who are paid to analyze things” would share with us what was in this bill for the Forest Service. As helpful readers have pointed out, all I could easily get was the President’s budget, not what ultimately passed. I see that it’s been assailed as a “budget-buster” but that’s not necessarily for the topics we’re interested in. Links to what’s in the bill would also be appreciated.
The final budget bill has not passed. What has passed is a broad-strokes agreement on how much to spend. The CR remains in place until March 23, giving Congress that long to actually pass an FY18 budget.
Thanks for clarifying this Travis.. so there is still a chance for a wildfire funding fix…..
Thank you! I knew there was still a CR until March 23, but I couldn’t figure out the rest of it!
