Oregon's weak economy is at real peril due to this one two punch. We cancelled a trip up in the next couple of weeks that would have dropped at least $1,000 in local economies. The seasons in Oregon limits a large % of the tourist season to July/August. These fires could not occur at a worse time for people who depend on tourism for their businesses.
1-2-3-4 punch. Loss of logging, loss of tech jobs, loss of last years tourism (due to the drought) and finally this years fires. Any questions left as to why we lead the nation in unemployment?

Please go to this thread on FR right now. You will see how incredibly dangerous these enviral fascists are to America. I talking about the ones in Congress like the POS :
(Eco Fascist, Rep. Jay Inslee, D-Washington, in Congress tries to burn up the rest of America while fires are out of control)This eco facist POS actually tried to advance his bill that would close more forest roads and put more forests in danger while the state below him, Oregon is burning up.
There is no room in Congress nor America for these dangerous Eco Fascists who advance the Green Agendas that can kill us or cost us our homes.
This left wing Eco Facist POS should be impeached and tried for endangerment of the American people with this agenda he was trying to advance:
Rep. Jay Inslee, D-Washington, announced plans to enforce President Clinton’s flawed roadless rule – which is in federal litigation – through an amendment to the Interior Appropriations bill. The amendment would have prohibited federal funding for forest management activity in the 57 million acres of federal forestland that President Clinton proclaimed as roadless in a hasty administrative order in the waning days of his presidency.
The amendment would have prohibited several fire prevention activities, including the use of backfires, which has been successful in saving western towns threatened by looming fire this season. The U.S. Forest Service has reported that more than a third of the land in the roadless area -- 22 million acres – is at moderate to high risk for forest fire during one of the most devastating wildfire seasons in recent memory.
This Watermelon Klown is so damn arrogant and dangerous, that he makes OBL look like a piker. Get him out of Congress now before he makes the 9/11 loss of life look small! This insane agenda could wipe out entire towns and cities if it had been approved!
Re the loss of tourism for Oregon. As you noted last year the drought stopped a lot of us from going to Oregon.
We went in September to the Oregon coast. Unfortunately for America, 9/11 happened. That emptied out even the coastal resorts. September and early October is the final time for the coastal resorts to make money for the tourist season.
Now thanks to the Eco Fascists agenda to make every forest and wildland into a giant tinder box, your poor state is losing millions of tourist $'s each day this summer.
Andy Kerr, the eco facists in charge of the Oregon Natural Resources Council and the eco terrorist governor poster boy must be really happy. A lot of people will probably be forced to move out of Oregon as jobs disappear at a faster growing rate each day.
Andy Kerr and the eco terrorist Governor are far more dangerous to the average Oregonian that the al Qaeda terrorists are. The al Qaeda terrorists take months, years to plan and to execute their acts of terrorism.
Kerr, the other Eco Facists in Oregon and their Eco Facist Governor inflict economic eco terrorism on the people who live and work in Oregon on a 24/7/365 basis.
Oregon residents are the first test tube massive Rural Cleansing attempt on a state by the Eco Fascists who hate humans living in their Druid Cathedrals.
