Yep, it'll be a hard push to dedicate a 100 million dollar bond to preserve Elliott lands that are "environmentally sensitive" and won't be able to pay their "rent" with logging proceeds.

So is SB 847 just another political "pass the buck" maneuver to wash dirty hands?

"Senate Bill 847 would allow money losing CSF lands to be transferred for fair market value to another state or federal government agency or to a Native American tribe.

"Or to a Native American tribe"?! That includes the Cow Creek Band of the Umpqua, already on board with the intended sale. All that might be required for them to take title instead of Lone Rock Timber would be a little last minute paper shuffling, regardless of what percentage is owned by the Cow Creek.
