I grew up in Jefferson, Oregon, only a few miles from the Willamette Industries paper mill in Albany, Oregon. The smells emitted made drivers plug noses, and the way it looked took away from the scenery.
Now I realize that that paper mill did more than obscure community members from fresh air; it was, and still is, destroying forests.I urge you to call on Oregon Gov. Kulongoski to enforce the Roadless Conservation Rule, which protects forests from logging, road building, and other harmful activities.
