“The real question is do we want local corruption or federal corruption.”

I don’t disagree with you, just wanted to point out there is no magic bullet. The corruption does not go away, it just moves.

Our Founding Fathers were strong supporters of local/small government.

Here is my total point...per the person who claims he/she is from that area on this thread.

So according to that person, logging has cause extreme damage to their area. Fine then, when they take over the management of their area and when they have severe forest fires break out, or damage from extreme disease of that forest, then they get NO support from any disaster management as a result of their decisions to withdraw from the forest management of their area.
