colorado representative joe neguse says district has seen several wildfires and he has fought for paybiden administration raised federal firefighter pay from 13 to $15 an hour. the infrastructure bill gave them either a $20,000 or a 50% salary increase. those are set to expire unless congress extends that. i want to make that permanent. a reports as low pay is a barrier to recruiting federal firefighters who make less than their counterparts to at many state and local agencies. but with no agreement on government funding for next year, congress is now working on a temporary 2 months spending package. the bill is not passed. a six-month plan called a continuing resolution failed on wednesday. speaker mike johnson paired it with a sweetener for republicans. a bill requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote. looking over cr. when you pull out the one thing that was redeeming without republican support, johnson will have to negotiate with democrats and goose who wants permanent firefighter raises that for me is at the top of the list. government funding expires on september. 30th

colorado and washington state face very similar risks and so i will yield now to my colleague, joe neguseneguse: i thank you, madam speaker. first let me say thank you to my distinguished colleague and classmate from the great state of washington, dr. schrier has been a tireless advocate, tireless, for our wildland firefighters, for effective forest management, and ensuring that we make the necessary investments that we know must be made for wildfire resiliency and mitigation. of course all of those issues, incredibly important to the people of her great state and, as she mentioned, certainly incredibly important to the people of colorado. the state that i am privileged to represent in the united states congress. but i in particular want to thank representative schrier for hosting and facilitating this opportunity on the house floor for so many of our colleagues, each of whom are leaders in their own right, you heard from them, madam speaker. particularly from the rocky mountain west and the western united states, from nevada and from california, from, of course, arizona and many other st

in august of 2023, my friend and colleague, representative joe neguse, who is the ranking member of the federal land subcommittee, introduced the wildland firefighters' paycheck protection act. this bipartisan legislation would permanently fix the pay cliff that our firefighters, our hometown heroes who are actually out there fixing our forests are facing at the end of this week. we've known about this pay cliff for well over a year. but here we are nearing the end of 2024 and the majority has still failed to enact a permanent fix. there's certainly not one in this bill, the fix our forests act. right now the wildland firefighters' paycheck protection act has over two dozen champions on both sides of the aisle, evenly divided between democrats and republicans, myself included. and yet all we've got to show for this is yet another temporary fix in this week's c.r. with republican leadership once again stringing along these men and women in uniform for another few months without a permanent solution. as appropriators on both sides of the aisle have emphasized, these temporary patches end

-- liked to yield to my colleague, the assistant democratic lead, the gentleman from colorado, joe neguse. mr. neguse: thank you, mr. speaker. first and foremost, let me just say a word of gratitude to my colleague, the distinguished gentleman from california, mr. huffman, for founding and sharing the stop 2025 task force. his determined leadership on this particular issue has been incredibly important and i and so many of my colleagues in the house democratic caucus are grateful for it. right now, mr. speaker, americans across the country are looking to leads for the washington to solve problems. to address issues of critical importance facing our families and our communities across this great nation. they're looking to us to lower costs. to grow the middle class. to build safer communities. to put people over politics. unfortunately, project 2025 calls for the very opposite. as h.res. 1368 makes perfectly clear, extreme maga republicans have authored a radical -- excuse me, a radical playbook that would harm middle class families by raising taxes, allow employers to stop paying overtime
