(Salem, OR) -- Oregon Governor Tina Kotek is calling a special session of the Legislature to approve money for the state's historic wildfire season. One-point-nine-million acres burned. Fighting the fires cost the state nearly 350-million-dollars. The budget already includes some money for firefighting costs. The Legislature will be asked to approve an additional 218-million-dollars. The money will pay contractors who fought the fires while the state waits for the federal government to cover some of the costs. The special session will start December 12th.
