Wow! It looks like they are not happy with the mandated logging portion of it, and the precedent it may set for other national forests. These are the biggest concerns of mine, along with the removal of wilderness study areas. This whole thing kind of stinks of this highly localized industry giveaway, almost like Tester and company opened up a pad of paper and asked the logging industry to write down exactly what theywanted….
“well, you see here John Tester, we need to log 7,000 acres a year, and that needs to be mandated”
lol!
Sherman urged Tester, a first-term Democrat, to “alter or remove highly site-specific requirements” for logging and other forest-thinning projects that are “likely unachievable and perhaps unsustainable.”
