Golf and timber jobs

| March 18, 2015 7:27 AM

Seems most people don’t remember who shut down the woods and put half of Montana out of work, from the faller to the man loading the ore car to that of the local grocer who feeds these people. Then there was the thousands of jobs in between.

It was Obama. Campaigning and golf cost a lot of money. That’s where the high society environmental people come in. They make sure Obama rides his high horse throughout the country, from Las Vegas to Hollywood, giving his “liefest.”

There in trade, the environmentalists are free to close areas and upset sound management practices with lawsuits — paid by the government.

The way we get the Forest Service back in order and have professionals run it again is to get rid of that guy in Washington and all his environmental coalition lawsuit friends.

There were better times and more freedom. Let’s get them back.
