“Time to do away with the alphabet agencies and Federal ownership of lands.These are State issues.”
Couldn’t agree more.
Goes for law enforcement, too.

Or another gay, lesbian member of the democrat party with a chip on their shoulder?
Because the feds won't allow it. I have seen thousands of acres of state or federal forest land in Oregon timber country that have been burned decades ago, and all there is left is weeds and burnt trees, deceased and dying.
The fed policy is no cutting of salvage able trees after a forest fire, because then loggers will burn all the forest so they can harvest the trees. No replanting after a burn either, it needs to be natural.
The number one growing area of Douglas fir trees in the world, southern Oregon and feds and state will not allow harvest of this wonderful natural resource. So us private timber holders are, cut about 25 acres of my timber this year, netted over $175,000. We are going to burn the slash piles this fall, spray roundup on the entire acreage to kill grasses and then plant thousands of new baby trees. Should be ready to harvest in 30 years, our children can do it!
To try and convince the tree huggers that the timber does so much better managed, doug fir are not Sequioa redwoods, they are a production tree that has a life span of about 80-100 years and then it begins to rot inside. Seen plenty of one log and three log loads, rotting inside.
