Ag Secretary Announces Forest Service Policy Changes During Missoula Stop
The U.S. Agriculture Secretary visited Missoula Friday to announce a blueprint to prioritize work for the U.S Forest Service.
Supporters say it will modernize the agency and cut unnecessary red tape. Opponents, however, counter it will undermine the nation’s laws aimed at protecting the environment.
Ag Secretary Sonny Perdue says the Forest Service has metaphorically been bound in bubble wrap for far too long.
