My friends in Oregon, I recommend that you only click this link if you will read this entire story and have the time to let yourself calm down afterwards.
Better yet, don’t calm down.
Don’t just heave a sigh of resignation and move on.
Get angry, because this story – though not the first nor sadly the last – is about how our clean air and water and our wild rivers and our wild fish are being squandered by our elected officials and by an outrageous lack of accountability within our state agencies charged with protecting the public trust.
