Review of Big Fire Healthy Forest

The production style is pretty cut and dry reporting—there isn't much flash to the piece. It might benefit from a more-engaging and/or creative opening touch, but this is a minor concern.
The piece would make in an excellent lead-in for a talk program on forest policy, forest fires, or this specific legislation. It would also work well as part of a general magazine program.
Another note: The reporter periodically lapses into an unusual vocal rhythm that is distracting, extending and underemphasizing the last word in a sentence (DA-DA-DA-daaa, DA-DA-DA-daaa).
