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.
Gov. Hull has memories of the beauty of that part of Arizona, from teaching school on the Indian Reservation, further north, in the 1960's. Perhaps this accounts for her welcomed vocal outrage. She always looks mean, but especially pissed off at the news conference. ABOUT TIME Jane.
