Oregon Legislators Angry Over Wildfire Fighting Procedures

Oregon lawmakers are angry over the federal government's management of wildfires.  Powell Butte Representative Mike McLane says it's wrong when the government allows fires to burn out of control on federal land, and then they spread onto state and private land.  McLane says it costs the state and counties millions of dollars from timber revenue that could be going toward schools.  He says it is inexcusable that a fire was allowed to burn over a million acres in southeast Oregon this summer.
