Read the actual text of the QLG bill, and see for yourself...this IS a genuine grassroots effort, and created in the effort to protect both the forest and the people of this area. But of course, the city slickers ALWAYS have a better picture of how to protect a rural area than the people who live there themselves, don't they?
