Wyden Seeks Promise from Secretary Jewell on O & C Lands

The Public News Service put out a new write up on this story:


June 7, 2013
PORTLAND, Ore. – At a hearing Thursday in Congress, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) pushed Interior Secretary Sally Jewell to make a public promise – that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will lend its technical assistance as Oregon decides where and how much to log on the O and C lands. 

These parcels of forested public land are located across 18 counties in Oregon, and also in California. Some of those counties are in poor financial shape, and at the hearing, Wyden once again made his feelings clear about how he wants to remedy that.
