That Smith was a typical Sierra Clubber. He was plenty full of contradictions. At one point is complaining about the loss of mature (100 yrs) trees and the next he saying that the forest was actually a "teen-age" forest and it won't take that long for the trees to grow back. HUNH!? He thought thinning of the forest was only necessary around homes and that the rest of the "back country" should be left alone. Where the heck did he think this damn fire started?!?!?!?
I hope a lot of people get angry at the Sierra Club. Might put them out of business & stop federal land grabs...a blessing in disguise.
Then, again, as long as we keep electing these mealy-mouthed state & local politicians, nothing will change.
We were advised by APS that Payson would probably lose all power today. Didn't happen. But it may tomorrow.
