1, 20% of the proceeds from timber sales was to go directly to the local school system.
2. Just go and check out how many now work within each USFS district. There are biologists, hydrologists, trail engineers-one or each type of trail, sales administrator, lawyers who act as contract officers, Road maintenance crews, and on and on. Then you got all the people who have to do the environmental assessment studies BEFORE any timber sale gets let for bids.

They now require that most, if not all, existing roads are now closed, ripped and slashed-obliterated. Then, when a fire does happen, they have to hire bulldozers and excavators to reopen those roads for the fire crews to get to the fire at 35 to 4500 dollars an hour.

Close down the USFS and BLM and give the management of that trust back to the local areas.

Corruption is always there. That is the nature of man.

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