An 18-member state task force is moving closer to developing a plan to rate the risk of wildfire damage for homes in forested areas, including assessing possible fees to help pay for fire-prevention efforts.
The seven-month-old Task Force on Wildfire Insurance and Forest Health met last week to discuss recommendations it plans to propose to the governor and state lawmakers by Sept. 30 in an effort to limit wildfire damage to homes in forested areas. Details in this week's Flume.
How about a more common sense "Lets getter done attitude" without the BS, and just set up some places to collect and dispose of slash (year round w/fees). And some USFS matching grants for more community-based mitigation. We don't need this state directed rating bureaucratic BS driving up insurance rates and lowering property values by some arbitrary clue-less task force bureaucrats in Denver.

Republicans are red, democrats are blue, neither of them, gives a flip about you.
I realized after I read this today that someday soon, I may just have to walk away from this place I call home. They are killing us with their stupid regulations and taxes. But they have to keep doing stuff like this to us to keep their jobs relevant. What really ticks me off is that it's my tax dollars that fund these idiots. My contempt for government workers grows deeper every.single.day.
I agree. Maybe while they are at it, the "task force" can ASSess some fees for hail prone areas, tornado prone areas, rock slide, avalanche, earthquakes, lightning, drought, and flood prone areas too. And anywhere there are west Nile mosquitoes flying around. That should about cover the whole state. Fees for everyone! And conventions in Vegas for the task force bureaucrats! SOBs
