Hilary Franz: $500M for DNR to prevent wildfires

Hilary Franz, the state public lands commissioner, deserves credit for pushing into the politics of Olympia to raise the profile of DNR, thereby securing $500 million from the Legislature to fight and prevent wildfires and increasing the department's budget by 60% during her two terms in office.

It took more than a caretaker to do that; it took a politician. Being out front in the political arena may have served Franz's career aspirations--but it also served the people of this state.
