This week, the Obama administration approved the sale of timber in a roadless national forest in Alaska.
According to the Wilderness Society:
American taxpayers have not only watched as the Tongass has been picked apart by road building and logging, they've paid for the privilege. The tab extends beyond $750 million over 20 years. In a single year alone, the Forest Service spent $36 million on the Tongass timber program and got back in revenues only $1 million.
