Vol. 15, No. 4 Excerpt:

“PNW meeting-April 21, 2004

Land Issues:

Chuck Cowan discussed Wild Sky and it is still alive, but is stalled in committee. He urged

people to write to George Nethercutt about this issue as he is on the fence regarding Wild Sky.

Chuck also discussed a website that Ed Hussman has put together on the issue. The web address

is: WWW.Forestsforpeople..com. One last Wild Sky comment, apparently some group has

purchased some land right in the middle of the proposed Wild Sky Wilderness area. Apparently

the thinking is if the bill passes, then the government is forced to buy this person out. The group

paid approx. $50,000 for the land and could extort as much as $2 million from the government if

successful. Otherwise they threaten to helicopter the building materials to the site and start

building.”

Vol. 15, No. 7 Excerpt (September 2004):

Letter writing campaign: Remember Wild Sky Letters”

And

“PNW4WDA Fall Delegates Meeting - September 11, 2004

FROM THE www.SNO-ACTION.COM (snowmobiler’s website) Message Forum: A selected posting from this website appears below regarding the Snohomish County Council’s attempt to pass an official Resolution, opposing Wild Sky. Although there was no official resolution authored, the Council Triumvirate of Nelson-Koster-Sax did jointly sign and send a letter to the House Resource Committee in 2004, which Councilman Sax offered, along with his testimony against Wild Sky, purporting to represent the citizens of Snohomish County by his testimony and presence.

”Greetings folks -here is the latest "wild Lie" update'
On Tuesday Sep. 2 the Snohomish city council is meeting to consider ENDORSING the wild sky wilderness proposal. All public input will be taken at the beginning of the meeting and they will make thier decision later on in the evening.
This meeting starts at 7 PM and we are going to gather at 6.30 to get organized on this. Ed hussman, of the farm bureau and I are hoping to get at least 100 opposers to pack the council chambers with us - you CAN bank on the fact that there WILL BE many supporters of the bill and WE NEED TO OUTNUMBER THEM, even though our points are based in fact-thiers in fantasy.
So anyone in the Snohomish county area ,it's not that far.PLEASE show up-We DON'T need the wildwashington bunch to be able to add ANOTHER to thier fairly long list of endorsements!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
