Dear HCN,
In the 12/20/99 “Hotline”
column, HCN reported that “… at a Flathead forest meeting in
Kalispell, conservationists were shouted down.” While it is true
that we were shouted at, booed, hissed and told to prepare to shed
blood, we were not shouted down. Testimony by conservationists in
favor of the Clinton roadless initiative outnumbered the antis by 2
to 1.
