This is GREAT news!  Thousands of Oregonians have contacted the three members of the Oregon State Land Board urging they keep the Elliott Forest.  Now we find the path forward.  De-coupling the native old growth parts of the Elliott from the Common School Fund is what I believe Gov. Brown is proposing with a $100 million land transfer.  If we could then get paid for the carbon sequestered on the 40,000 plus acres of native forest in the Elliott- then perhaps we can give some of this revenue to surrounding counties.  We also should continue to help the Cow Creek band of the Umpqua Tribe acquire land they can call their own.  Restore and protect this important forest and help out the native people of Oregon.  This should be our focus.  Thank you Treasurer Read for being on the right side of history and working for We, the People---not the clear cut logging industry that cannot see any other values of this native forest than board feet.
