Boundary waters under attack

It is not clear to me if they actually runs it, but certainly, they are strongly connected to it. I say that because I rented a boat from Latourel ast year and still paid the portage operator cash out of my pocket. Seems like I would have paid them directly at the time I rented the boat if they were the owners.

I worked for them 20 years ago They used to be a concessionaire through the forest service. Jeep latourell was the founder of their lodge but Bob and his sisters had taken it over. One of the sisters ran the portage.

Yes, some woman still runs it. They got in some trouble however, and I wondered how that might have affected ownership.

I used to work for Canadian Waters, literally a half century ago.

Everything I have heard is this doesn't have the votes to pass, and theres a lot of resistance to use of the CRA in this manner and the even larger concerns that creates behind a lot of the opposition.

I hope to god you are right. It would be the only good piece of news I can even imagine.

I have a feeling they are trying to lull us to sleep and then BOOM!

Are you suggesting conducting an unjustified war might be a smokescreen to divert attention away from this legislation and other dirty deeds on and around our public lands?

I think the "Save" act is dominating their non-war/Eppstein work now. If that totally fails like it should and there's time left I fear it could be taken up.
