Fed up with forest politics

| July 13, 2016 2:00 AM

The U.S. has got the finest Forest Service in the world. Best trained in the sciences of timber management, soil, water, diseases, insects, etc. These are dedicated people.

Ask any logger or miner who worked in the woods over seven years ago. Obama shut it all down, something about clearing the air.

The folks in almost half of western Montana were in some way tied to the logging and mining industry.

Then the loss of jobs. After that went the savings for retirement so to subsist.

All along Obama was continually campaigning to raise money for the party. Now those groups contributing, such as the environmental clubs expect their due, such as guiding the Forest Service on what not to do.

After all some one has to look after that endangered leaking snail and of course that yellow bird that sings only on Sundays.

Now the party is taken care of and is richer. But the rest of the peoples’ government such as the Forest Service...Well, the loss of our country got us 19 trillion in the hole.

Something about Bush made him do it.

Never fear. The Forest Service people are going forth with strong hearts and funds are gathering in by the selling of permits to pick mushrooms and berries, also for cutting firewood, corral and tipi poles.

One only has to look at better days.

Vote Trump.

In truth,
