Will the folks attending the rally be passing a hat for the maintenance of the roads? Is closing the roads part of budget cutting? Why are the feds paying for this road that locals seem most interested in?

To keep the marajuania fields operating for the meixcan cartel?

The roads were closed by regulations when they shouldhave been closed by Congress. Just as the EPA is closing coal mines.

It is another of Obama’s takeover by regulation , Its for the Greenies and you cry about fixing the roads.

Weare being dictated to by Obama. stop moaning about paying for a few roads.

Why are the feds paying for this road that locals seem most interested in?

Because the roads provide access for fire-fighting. And, in small fires, serve as effective fire breaks.

The roads are already there. The Forestry Service proposes to close them. Which has absolutely zilch to do with budget-cutting -- only with blocking access and serving the enviro-whackos' purpose.

If you believe otherwise, you are grossly misinformed.

Will the folks attending the rally be passing a hat for the maintenance of the roads? Is closing the roads part of budget cutting? Why are the feds paying for this road that locals seem most interested in? Rest assured, this has nothing to do with budget cutting. More money will be spent on "studying" the issue than would ever be spent on maintaining the roads. This is all about the Forest Service locking up resources that belong to the public, not a bunch of elitist environmentalists. They do this all the time even when the locals maintain the roads.
