No, my read is that he and others are just not that impressed with GOP efforts to claim the timber issue as their own.  With reconveyance largely off the table and the arrearage question moot, the real heavy lifting will be on the issue of bring timber/wood products jobs back to rural WA counties and especially our part of the Olympic Peninsula is yet to be done. Derek Kilmer is working on these issues.

 Meanwhile the reconveyance and arrearage horses are dead, quit whipping them.
