Rollins Says Forest Service Reorganization Continues Full-Bore Despite Legal Hurdles
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said the Trump administration is pressing ahead with a major restructuring of the Forest Service despite legal hurdles, according to The Hill.
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins reiterated on Thursday that the Trump administration remains committed to a major restructuring of the U.S. Forest Service, despite legal hurdles, according to a report by The Hill. The Hill, citing The Associated Press, said Rollins made the remarks during a media call.
According to The Hill, Rollins said the administration is "full-bore ahead in the reorganization." She added that the administration believes in the effort more today than it ever has, and she described its purpose as taking the USDA to its constituents. The Hill's summary attributes these statements directly to Rollins.
The Hill's headline characterizes the administration as going full-bore ahead on the reorganization, using the same phrase Rollins used during the call. The headline also names Rollins as the central source for the administration's position.
The excerpt does not identify the legal hurdles that Rollins was addressing, nor does it name the courts, parties, or proceedings involved. The Hill's summary also does not describe the specific changes the reorganization would make to the Forest Service.
The summary does not say which reporters attended the media call or what questions were asked there. It ends mid-sentence, so the full article may contain further detail that is not available in the material provided.
The summary does not say whether any court has ruled on the reorganization or what steps the agency will take next. The report was written by Sarah Davis for The Hill. Readers seeking the complete account should consult the original report.
