According to AAA, Oregon has the fifth-highest gas prices in the nation. On the other hand, some folks argue that Americans pay far too little for gas in general. Last week's survey generated a hearty discussion on the recent events of two Douglas County employees allowing a correctional work crew, onto their personal property to cut firewood. I think it was 100 percent wrong and the property owner should be taken to task. Why make a big deal out of nothing.
Some folks apparently have nothing better to do.
I asked Susan Gonzales about this and she said that there is no metal storage shed on her property. The department has a wood lot that was created for our forestry crew of seven full-time workers. The purpose of the crew is to learn forestry skills, some of which include tree cutting, learning how to limb, cutting trails and fire fighting. The work crew manager asked if I still had some trees and wondered if they could be taken for the wood lot. I would like to clear up information that has been reported that is inaccurate.
