The Elliott forest is irreplaceable and once it's sold, that's it; You can't make more land.   About 40,000 acres of the Elliott have never been cut.  There were some wildfires in the mid 1800's and the forest that grew from these fires are the old growth of today.  It is a rich, biodiverse forest with too many values to ever put a dollar amount on.  Governor Brown has put forward a public option that will work to meet the obligation to fund the schools and protect the native, old growth part of the forest.  Tobias Read needs to do his job and help figure out a way to make this happen.  He did take Lone Rock $$ campaign donation, but so did Brown.  He shouldn't become a puppet for logging industry so easy; and if he wants to be re-elected, he needs to work for the vast majority of Oregonians who have spoke out and loudly demanded; "keep the Elliott Forest in our hands!"  Shame on Richardson and Read...sell-outs!  And shame on Lone Rock for offering to buy this forest.
