I think it's important to remember how DNR is set up: WA State Constitution set DNR up to manage timber sales with proceeds going directly to funding schools. But DNR is no longer harvesting like they were in the 60's and schools are SO much bigger today than 50 years ago. Having the two tied together pits them against a common good. DNR manages for a bottom dollar, not for the environmental good. It's not their fault, it's their fiduciary responsibility to do so. We just need to change this.
