Good Find!

So is Udall a card carrying enviral nazi poster congress boy?

It is apparent that they want zero roads, zero logging, zero preventive fire measures and zero logging to remove trees killed by their fires.

How much money has Udall received from Club Sierra and other enviral organizations who hate roads, logging and people like us visiting their Druid Cathedrals, we used to call them our forests?!

One of the most outspoken critics is Rep. Scott McInnis, R-Grand Junction, chairman of the House subcommittee on Forests and Forest Health.

Josh Penry, staff director for McInnis' committee, said Udall's idea is worth considering.

McInnis is my Congressman.....he is great, imo. Votes sensibly. I went to college with Penry, here in GJ. He's pretty conservative, so I'm a bit surprised that he thinks Udall's idea is at all valuable. The Governor of AZ is fuming at the environmentalists and obstructionists in government.....and I believe she was sincere in her condemnation, which was very strong. Mother nature would have our forests burn more frequently......so the least we can do is have controlled burning and logging......which can be a good thing if done correctly, imho.

Great job Madfly on keeping us up to date. Hard to believe any of the Udall communists have the gall to even be able to speak of the damage created. I view this year's rounds of forest fires as " Pollution, and destruction, and mis-use of natural resources.....logging companies couldn't do this much damage to the woods in a 100 years!"

Thank an environmentalist for wiping out America's forests and natural resource jobs that would have boosted our economy.

. "But the overwhelming anecdotal evidence we're hearing from the field is that in those areas (where fuels-reduction programs were in place), the fire dropped to the ground and the fire was easier to contain."

Mr. Udall is not interested in facts. He just wants to cover-up for those groups and policies that are the REAL blame here. Thanks for the PING.

In a letter to U.S. Forest Service chief Dale Bosworth, Udall said a panel including forestry experts, environmentalists and logging industry officials should use the 137,000-acre blaze six miles northwest Lake George as a case study to steer policy.

Oh, yeah. There's a bright idea. Include the people responsible for the whole mess on the panel trying to straighten things out.

This bozo just wants to make sure that nothing gets fixed, and that more forests (and houses) burn.
