Plum Creek has a lot of open ground in my area that we hunt. Now it's locked up under the Whorehauser Corporation.
So much for showing my grandkids where their dad caught his first fish!

Sorry to hear that. That sucks.

Plum Creek Timber (PCL) has agreed to merge with rival Weyerhaeuser (WY) in a deal that values the combined company at over $20 billion dollars. The merger will create the largest owner of timberland in the U.S. with over 13,000 acres of forests.
13,000 acres...geez, how do they get to control the other 12,987,000 acres they make us pay to enter?

Not yet, but the grandkids are 1 year and one on the way. By the time they will be old enough to understand, it will be under lock and key.

Yeah, you're right. If it's under Weyerhaeuser ownership, it'll most likely be permit access only.

Where do we get a governor who cares about the heritage and traditions of their citizens? I'm gonna send a letter to Inslee. I know he doesn't care about the heritage of hunters, but I do think he cares about corporations getting tax breaks in exchange for public benefits. Especially when those companies turn around and reduce or eliminate the benefit but keep the whole tax break. Corporate welfare is a democratic target.
He could be the spark we need to get a legislative review of our tax system. Afterall, he thinks he has superpowers already. He wants to fix the climate, maybe he will settle for taking on this political football. No legislator from the rural timber areas will touch a review of tax breaks since they might upset their big money.

Might be easier to go unicorn hunting.
