Letter to WA State Land Steward Peter Goldmark

Leadership that will turn public lands into sterile clear-cuts shrouded in smog

Washington State Commissioner of Public Lands

Seattle, WA 98111

Sir,

So you are the keynote speaker at the biomass convention? Along with the corporate welfare provided to the industry by the taxpayers, are you going to offer them our state's forests for their personal profit?

The support this industry is getting from our government is disgraceful. You should be ashamed to call yourself a steward of our lands.

Under your leadership, our public lands will be turned into sterile clear-cuts shrouded in smog from the incinerators that you support. And oh yes, the millions of tons per year of co2 emissions that will kill our Puget Sound waters.

You should change over to the GOP, at least they are honest about their wish to rape the environment for corporate profit.

Your former supporter,

Clinton Ferrara
Shelton, WA

  1. At last----new people are Speaking Out publicly against this travesty of our State lands. We wholeheartedly agree with your comments/statements to Mr. Goldmark. We wish there was a way to impart this Public View to Goldmark at his "precious" keynote speech ($$$$)!
    Note: Unfortunately, we were "former" supporters, also --- isn't hind-site so wonderful!
