It is an interesting report to congress isn't it. Do you know who it is?
A FOIA request will be denied because its a personnel issue, however
researching public real estate records will EASILY reveal the answer.
Since you are such an advocate for the NPS you should do the research.
Explains a lot when you find out the answer.
Simply pointing out that other such as the FS may be as corrupt as some in the NPS seems a deflection rather than a defense and the easy way out. Do the research.
It's very illuminating when you find out who it is.

I am ridiculing the NC3's propaganda. I'm sure they are nice people and we might even enjoy a ski tour if we didn't talk about the NPS and their aims and goals good intentioned but I find their arrogance that they know whats best for the area unacceptable. Even people on this site far less reactionary than me have questioned the hyperbole, grand generalizations and cloying pander to heart searing issues.
It's spin of the highest order and  very well done frankly
You disagree with me, I disagree with you. We both get to post our thought in our own ways although I don't use latin as much as you!
If you read my post I told people who agree with my views to contact Senator Murray. I had the grace to suggest that those that have different views also do so.
I think you may be a reactionary as well. hahah

Again, express your views regarding hwy20 study area. Tell her not to support park expansion into highway 20 study area or support or give funding to the ALP project or NC3 group. or you will take your vote elsewhere.
Contact her at murray.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?p=ContactMe

Indeed that link to Sen. Murray was nice to have. Thanks. But I would say that merely saying 'no' is not constructive towards the preservation of the areas of the North Cascades.
Saying something along the lines of:
No, but maybe if <dogs can reign free on the park>...
Yes, but only if <hwy 20 is excluded>...
or
No, but instead let us <do this>...
You get the point.

I would say all of these are far more constructive than our possibly dogmatic and blindly disagreeing conversations. So if you do contact any politician, please let them know the aspects you do like, and the ones that you do not.

Since you like my links , here's another.

We want to put an area as precious and important as the highway 20 corridor into the hands of this agency??
www.nationalparkstraveler.com/2009/06/su...vernment-agency-work .

Contact Senator Murray .......express your views on how this area should be managed and tell her not to support the ALP project or NC3 .
The Park Service is a broken agency with poor leadership, rampant corruption, cronyism , nepotism and waste. Do not give them more land or bigger budgets until they correct their inadequacies and realign their mission. Protection is afforded to the highway 20 study area by it's present administration and it's working just fine. The NPS will just mess it up.. for perpetuity.

A few people found the concept of forests-for-biomass as ridiculous. In is not. In fact, Two companies in Shelton are in stages of wood burning powerplants that will burn sawdust, bark, woodchips and straff. This was on a NPR story this morning while I was waking up.
A quick internet search yielded

for non/less biased news sources. While they are using more of the trees felled, it makes the green gold much more valuable and desirable. Please realize forests are now wanted biomass-energy projects, putting more pressure on us (citizens) to get them protected.

They already gave us their answer, read JRD's post carefully, they have already concluded what they want to do and yes I have nothing but disgust and distrust of the NPS.

Here's a quote from a government report. It's not a blogger page or a conspiracy nut. Its a report fr0m the Office of Inspector General to Congress.

The Superintendent was not the NC super but was close. It's not hard to find out who it was if you care to do the research. I think he may have been transferred again recently.


You say, "The Superintendent was not the NC super but was close." What the heck does that mean? It seems to me that you're smearing the superintendent of North Cascades National Park. I don't see how that sort of tactic has any place here. Clean up your act, Chris.
