Yahoo! News - Bush Plan Opens More Forests to Logging: "Governors would have to petition the federal government to block road-building in remote areas of national forests under a Bush administration proposal to boost logging.
... "Basically I think this proposal takes away protections on a national level" against road-building and logging, Robert Vandermark, co-director of the Heritage Forest Campaign, said Thursday. He and other environmentalists said it is unlikely that governors in pro-logging states would seek to keep the roadless rule in effect."
