I'm referring to a U.S. House of Representatives proposal, called "A Better Way. Earlier this year, House Speaker Paul Ryan set up task forces in six important areas: fighting poverty, enhancing national security, growing the economy, upholding the Constitution, improving the healthcare system, and reforming the tax code. These plans serve as a clear agenda for House Republican solutions to some of the biggest challenges facing Oregon and America.

At a recent groundbreaking ceremony for the new site of the Klamath Falls Gospel Mission, U.S. Rep. Greg Walden highlighted a plan in the U.S. House of Representatives that will help fight poverty, not only in Oregon but across the entire country.The Better Way plan to fight poverty includes ideas to improve skills and education, reward hard work, tailor benefits to people's needs, help families save for the future, and demand results from the welfare system. 

Elsewhere, something that is turning out to be devastating to the northwest is on the subject of wildfires. Massive fires in Idaho and Oregon are going on while Washington Gov. Jay Inslee has declared a state of emergency for 20 Eastern Washington counties in response to multiple wildfires that threaten homes and natural resources.
