DENVER ~ In a recent report, it was revealed that the Trump administration has terminated the employment of at least 90 individuals in Colorado and 3,400 employees of the Forest Service. These cuts are part of a larger plan to reduce funding for programs that aim to protect public health and safety. Shockingly, there are no plans in place to replace these essential services.

Colorado Governor Jared Polis expressed his concern over these actions, stating that it is "reckless endangerment" to the people of Colorado. He also warned that this could lead to an increase in homeowners' insurance costs. By cutting jobs that play a crucial role in preventing wildfires through watershed protection and forest management, the Trump administration is putting communities at risk.

While firefighters were spared from the cuts, other positions responsible for vital wildfire prevention work, such as road maintenance, forest management, and watershed restoration, were not as fortunate. This decision could have potentially devastating consequences for the state of Colorado and its residents. Governor Polis urged the administration to reconsider their actions and prioritize the safety and well-being of its citizens.
