I worked at a mill for 18 years that shut down in 1981 (Eureka) due to the Redwood National Park. I worked as REPP Advocate for the displaced timber workers for 2 years. These mill closures were devastating to the workers. They caused massive job losses, family problems, loss of homes,etc. Our political environment has lost all touch with the working person, partially because there are less and less due to lack of jobs.<br /><br />We need to pursue land-use, not just for recreation, but for industry and jobs.<br /><br />Carl BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
