Bodling"...if the reorganization of the agency's research division is carried out as it has been proposed, it will be the end of the Forest Service's strong science legacy, current employees believe. One scientist called the proposed reorganization a "death blow" to research."
It's ... it's almost like ... the current administration doesn't know, or even care, what our Forest Service is all about!
"The government already owns most of the facilities it is proposing to shutter, internal Forest Service documents reviewed by NPR reveal. Of the remaining buildings the Forest Service leases that are being evaluated for closure, some cost the government less than $1 in rent a year, leases obtained by NPR show." That is, we're not going to be saving money by shutting down these research facilities and pretending to move the research to a central Colorado site with a lease cost of $1 million each year. It takes a lot of financial geniusing to look at giving up those crazy LOW costs to pay $1 million a year, and think it's a good deal.
