The three year study is an opportunity that may be beneficial to the people of the area. We should be organized and prepared for the scoping hearings. These hearings should determine what will be studied and how. They should include observations of how private ownership compares with public management in controlling erosion, maintaining and restoring and developing ranges and water sources to provide habitat for wild life. They should include how wilderness designation locks in bad management practices that lock in high erosion, replacement of good wildlife habitat with pigmy forest which destroys the production of 1 JUNB18UW7 but never had actually sat in on can he say anything about the Living so close to the building, license.

One gentleman suggested that this, if passed, was only the beginning, of Hell and Damnation that would be vested on our community. I listened with rapt attention. I noticed when the mayor asked for comments, that Ms. Dixie Brunner was asked, What axe do you have to grind rather , amazing, but thats democracy I guess. My wife and 1 were not born here, or even have family here. We came here because we love the country and the people. Anyway it vas great. At one point Ms. Brunner suggested that maybe this wasnt about the demon rum but about the rights of a business to create a viable economic center to hire our children.
