Not too long ago we … went through a … strike that put thousands [of forest industry workers] out of work and had North Island communities on the brink of destruction. … This last down has got me amazed on how a group of individuals that have not contributed anything close back to the economy nor back to helping replant and rehabitat any of the forest lands, has got their way by creating destruction and spending tax payers’ money … All I’m asking is the word needs to get out there to stop the cutting of jobs … It’s time to help this quiet taxpaying community that puts food on their family table and supports these small towns to ensure these towns are here to stay … our government could not stand up to this group of protestors that have not brought any good to the area besides the garbage left behind from their so-called camps.
