Gov. Gary Locke’s Statement on the Federal Action on the Roadless Rule

Gov. Gary Locke issued the following statement about the Bush administration’s action on the roadless rule:

“Once again the Bush administration has abdicated its leadership on a critical environmental issue. The management of our nation’s forests demands national solutions that account for the concerns of all Americans. Washington’s national forests are important to our local communities. But they are owned by all Americans, and forest management should represent all these interests.”
