@AlaskaWx @SilverSalmonAK Did you guys see the article from PEW on wildfire funding? That's another specific instance of the general problem.

The fact that Alaska bases its wildfire suppression appropriation on the least expensive year of the past 10 relies on supplemental funding for any additional costs seems bizarre. (And obviously problematic.)
