All Positive Week, cont'd: Salazar fights fires
This fire season could be disastrous. And not just because of the low snowpack, dry climate and hot temperatures. Eleven of the Colorado National Guard's 12 firefighting helicopters are en route to Iraq. Fortunately, Democratic Senator Ken Salazar isn't sitting around, waiting for the worst to happen. From The Rocky Mountain News:
Sen. Ken Salazar asked the Air Force on Wednesday how it could help fight wildfires in Colorado... "If fires do occur this season, the availability of the Air Force and Air Force Reserve to assist our firefighting efforts will become an issue of urgent, and possibly life-or-death, importance," the Democratic senator said in a letter to Secretary of the Air Force Michael W. Wynne.

Salazar also helped defeat the repeal of the estate tax. He's on the side of the good guys this week.
