It is a tragedy that our $inators didn't move on this bill last year after GW presented it in Medford and Portland.

Of course then who really cared that Oregon burned for months. There was minimal national tv coverage versus the coverage the LA/Riverside/San Diego Fires got.

I have had more comments on my old bumper sticker re blaming the envirals for the fires of 2002. One guy who has seen it for over a year, said last week, now I finally understand what your bumper sticker really means.

Boxer and Feinstein...what a bunch of duplicitous hypocrites. Always reacting, never doing any proactive. I've got my letter to the editor fired up and on its way.

BTW, can anyone tell me just when this initative was first proposed? I know I can look it up but was curious if anyone knew off the top of their head. I'm pretty sure it was over a year ago, yes?

You are so right. Some of this devastation could have been avoided had they listened.

"Of course then who really cared that Oregon burned for months. There was minimal national tv coverage versus the coverage the LA/Riverside/San Diego Fires got."

To be fair, we didn't have as much personal destruction. However, had the media paid attention to the possibilities then, SoCal wouldn't be in the fix they are now.

That is awesome, Gramps. That, alone, makes it all worth it.
