Truth from Rep. Greg Walden, R-Hood River, OR and Rep. Tom McClintock, CA. "Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Calif, whose district includes Yosemite National Park, said the Yosemite Rim Fire had now consumed almost 400 square miles of forests and is still burning. “For years, the foresters have warned us that the excess timber would come out of the forest in one way or another: It will either be carried out or it will be burned out, but it will come out,” he said. In the past 30 years, timber harvests in the Sierra Nevada have been driven down more than 80 percent by “extremist environmental regulations,” he said. “We now consign the forests to a policy of benign neglect.”
