Hmmm…would like to see more on this. Any guesses on a replacement?
Saw a great bumper sticker today,…. I’ll keep my guns & money, you can keep the CHANGE!
No rumors so far, but I can guarantee you it won’t be a career environmentalist who knows Forest Service issues…you know, someone who could actually bring some “change” to the agency’s agenda and culture. God knows they need it for the front line employees’ sakes.
