‘We can’t wait’: Issa reciprocates against the ‘green ribbon’ regulations that affect firefighters
First on the fox: Congressmen GOP -a Darrell Issa He introduced an account in response to devastating fires in California with the aim of punching regulatory loads that prevent firefighters from preventing fires most efficiently.
Issa, which represents the 48th Congress County in California, expresses the Law on the removal of the green ribbon, which would exclude the dangerous activity of reduction of fuel on federal land from federal regulations for a decade.
Eliminating these regulatory loads, Issa says, will allow firefighters to clean the brush, cut shrubs, prescribe fires, together with other activities of fire prevention, without being disturbed by six major federal environmental regulations.
These regulations include the National Law on Ecological Policy, the Law on Threatened Species, the National Law on the Preservation of Historical Historical, the Law on Clean Air, the Law on Migration Birds Agreement, and the Law on the Preservation of Migration Birds.

“For years, environmental rules have become a regulatory ‘green ribbon’ – locking dangerous conditions and opposing the reforms of common sense,” said Issa, who will visit the Palisade fire with President Trump on Friday for Fox News Digital. “That’s why this is not the time to demolish around the edges. We can’t wait for the next deadly disaster.”
“Giving an empty wait for funding even more bad management of California would be like giving matches to fire,” Issa continued. “We are first dedicated to help the victims of this disaster and work to prevent the following. This is the message I will bring to President Trump when I see him today in Los Angeles.”

“The nature of the fire problem changes a bit from the north to the south … In both cases you have betrayal of the air quality management district that are under the federal and state mandate for air cleaning. It makes it difficult to have for it prescribed burns With a type of frequency that must happen so it can reduce fuel load, “Devore said.
