Wild Olympics Discussion at PABA meeting
The guest speaker at this Tuesday's Port Angeles Business Association meeting will be Carol Johnson, executive director of the North Olympic Timber Action Committee. She will be presenting the timber industry's alternative to the Wild Olympics campaign.
The Wild Olympics campaign aims to add 38,000 acres to Olympic National Park, which would be achieved through voluntary sales by willing landowners.
Last June Carol Johnson told the Port Angeles Regional Chamber of Commerce that the loss of these 38,000 acres would eliminate between 112 and 226 jobs, and cause local governments to lose up to $4 million in tax revenue.
