Great post. Excellent example of what you don't see covered.
My God! Driving 100 miles one way to get a pickup full of wood! The farthest we have to drive is maybe 10 or 15! Why did the coal mine close? They really got their feet taken out from under them with that.
When we lived in PA, people moving out to the country bought houses in devlopments built next to farm. THEN the police complaints started. The smell of manure, tractors running early in the morning or late at night when the farmer wasn't doing his other job to keep the place going.
The local government told the whiners the farm was there and you knew it. Keep calling the police and we will charge YOU with harassment!
Thank you for this great article! Infuriating, really. As an older woman who relies on cordwood / firewood for heating (or, come up with $700-800 per month for fall and winter and early spring months for oil), I can relate to the comfort of having seasoned firewood on hand. We cut up storm damaged trees but mostly we buy cord wood…10 yrs ago, cordwood was $250/cord now it’s $350-380 in the New England rural areas.
I thought the number of trucks to haul the wood to the Rez seemed high? We can get 4 cords delivered in a 10 wheeler Peterbuilt dump truck. Ten wheelers would handle the back roads far better than a tractor trailer = 20 cords, 5 10 wheeler truck loads. Then I realized, the wood being provided to the Rez is not yet cut to length and split yet, thus the tractor trailers? Too bad the Rez teens can’t make a couple weekend trips to cut and split the wood on site - easier to haul.
And as for the water storage on site?? A situation like that in my neck of the woods can lower fire insurance costs. Our town has quite a few fire ponds created for that purpose and your house insurance is lower because of it. If the town/neighborhood relies on that source of water in case of a fire, then it’s typical lack of logical reasoning on the part of close/minded Liberals to complain like that!
This is upsetting to me.
God Bless the owners of the log company for their great idea to make use of all the logs by helping their Native neighbors on the Rez. Grandfathered use of property
was no doubt there before the Karen’s, as you put it, moved into the area.
Thank you for your comments and insight. The cost for dump trucks to travel is what would cause an issue - having one semi haul one load vs. drivers and fuel and running time for five dump trucks of that size with four cords each.
Personally, I get my cordwood delivered in two cord amounts with a dump truck locally; this is what I used for comparison in the background for Ashe.
I just filed a FOIA / CORA request which should substantiate the tips and rumors that started flooding the community after this article was written. We are also waiting for other journalists to catch up and start looking into this - within the region before we push it nationally. The next few days or so should outline the matter. How we see it is that there are few other options between not understanding the culture of firewood - or something darker and more organized.
While there are immediate civil rights violations that we will cover, there are other matters that apparently have launched multiple investigations by citizens of the area. If the reader of this is a citizen affected, please direct your inquiry through muckrock.org so that everyone benefits from the CORA / FOIA which is subsequently released!
Hey folks! @CityofCortezCO is their Twitter (sorry, not saying X 🤨) handle. There’s a number of job postings on their page in the area of P and Z. Let them know what a great job they’re doing on this.
Prediction: The lefty assholes, after all this strife and damage, will reverse this decision under the immense pressure of scrutiny resulting from this article. They will then immediately pat themselves on the back for their heroic actions which will further reinforce their savior complex, despite never having helped anyone and having caused so much stress and strife in the process. Zero lessons will be learned by them, but their smug self righteousness will be even greater going into the next issue they create. 🤨 Liberalism is truly a mental disorder.
Yes. Bureaucracy is the refuge of those who cannot do but are perfectly happy to regulate. To quote Dan Bongino - there is no power in yes, only power in 'no'....

When do we see Part 2?

Government (lawyers) ruin everything!
